don't you know that ALL PUBLIC hospitals will treat you with/without insurance????

Treat you or only in cases of emergency? How does one qualify? What if your income isn't low enough to qualify, but not high enough to afford health insurance premiums. Plus, have you ever seen the inside of those places - gives a whole new meaning to "shitty" medicine.
Linachka,
IT IS NOT only in case of emergency it's in case you are sick, which most of us only do go to doctors when they are sick. And you don't have to qualify AT ALL, you just have to show up. Who cares about the insides, I am more concerned about the insides of the doctor's heads not how fancy their waiting room is.
