Yes. While an emergency room can not refuse to treat anyone, a hospital is not obliged to provide non emergency surgery.

If you want to become pregnant but you don't have insurance what do you suggest?
I suggest getting insurance somewhere. It is very expensive to have a baby. With all of the prenantal care and the hospital stay. Even if it were a perfect birth and you were only in the hospital one day or less, it would still be very expensive. If you or the baby needed extra medical care or needed to stay in the hospital longer, it would go way up. Check with your state about getting state covered insurance. There are also some companies that you can buy insurance from privately. Or the last option is just to pay for all expenses yourself if you can afford it or work out a payment plan with the doctor and hospital. Another thing is that after the baby is born, it will need insurance for all of the doctors visits and vaccinations that will be needed. You may be able to get the baby covered by the state even if you aren't covered by them or don't qualify. Good luck! If you can afford to get health insurance you should get it before the get pregnant. If you cannot afford health insurance you SHOULD NOT GET PREGNANT. Nobody should plan on getting pregnant if they can't afford to care for the baby the way it needs to be cared for. Be responsible. Wait for insurance. A child is unexpected medical cost and hospital expenses cost more than you'll ever be able to pay off since the added expense of a child. Don't be selfish think of your child.
Why is surgery cheaper without insurance?
Probably because doctors/medical providers know that the average individual can't afford $20,000 for a certain surgery so maybe they only charge $12,000. Medical insurance providers have thousands of members paying monthly fees so it is a lot easier for the medical insurance company to come up with the $20,000. And whatever the insurance company doesn't cover, the individual ends up paying anyway.
