A New Age for the Medically UninsuredCarol Harveybyline‚ Jan. 29‚ 2007We are all aware of runaway medical costs. Health care is far too expensive for the average American to pay. If you can't afford health insurance, it's no surprise. And, you are far from alone. Vast numbers of students, part time workers, independent entrepreneurs, breadwinners with or without children working one, two or three minimum wage jobs just to get by skate along day to day hoping they won't get sick. But they do. So, let's start with the good news. As of mid-March 2007, if you present without medical insurance at any Sutter or Catholic Health Care West Hospital like San Francisco's St. Mary's or St. Francis, or 40 other CHW facilities in California, Arizona, and Nevada, you will no longer be subject to price-gouging as you may have been in the past. |
