An animal came in whose family couldn't afford what it needed so they had the option of signing over the animal to them. Then the pet was treated an adopted out
Just curious..what if a situation happens like that with humans? What if someone has no insurance and needs medical care? But they can't afford it? |
As far as humans go, I don't think hospitals can refuse to treat ppl. So usually they treat the ppl and if they can't pay then they are just in debt til they can. I know, I hydroplaned and almost killed myself in my jeep and didn't have med. insurance. I owe the hospital $10,000+, being paid off a bit at a time.
