Second even if they treat you in an emergency and you don't have insurance, you get home alive and well only to find a huge bill not knowing how you will pay it. That is the very real and very scary part.
Insurance would cover the bypass surgery. Insurance isn't the big problem, it's those who don't have it or can't get it. Some are too poor to afford it while others have pre-existing conditions that get them denied by every health care company.
