does he scream help me or does he scream I have no insurance so take me dead or alive to the garbage dump.
Of course they will take him to the hospital. Since he does not have insurance, most likely he will not pay the hospital. WHO WILL PAY? YOU WILL PAY. Part of the reason why healthcare is so expensive-IS THAT YOU PAY FOR ALL WHO DO NOT.

Eighty percent of all health care is paid for by either the government or by insurance. The entire system is crazy.
The insurance company or the government tells you what the proper care is. They tell the provider what he can charge. If, you were to consider not having insurance AND SELF INSURING-you take the risk and you pay the bill should medical care be necessary, SHOULD YOU NEED CARE YOU WILL BE BILLED ROUGHLY TWICE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE INSURANCE PAYS.

ALSO-there is nothing else you buy besides medical care where you do not ask the price or to ask to see previous JOBS he has done.
