All emergency rooms are required by federal law to accept all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. The ER has to evaluate your condition and stabilize it. If you need more care than the hospital can provide, the ER has to transfer you to a hospital that can provide it.

The ER does not provide non-emergency care. You could not go to the ER and get a routine physical, for example. Uninsured people who need routine care can find free or sliding-scale clinics in many communities.

This amount reflects the employer's contribution to the employee's medical benefits, separate from any deductions taken from the employee's paycheck for their own share of health insurance costs.

How dire is the need for health insurance in the USA?

Not so dire, if you are uninsured, illegal alien, etc, you will get care, all you need to do is step into and ER. They are required to treat you, then if you can' t pay for your hospital stay, they will find free care for you....so don't think that people who do not have health insurance cannot find care.. baloney. Okay, do not listen to this absent minded redneck. Health Insurance was greatly needed for a long time and then a bill was approved that allowed health insurance for everyone. Look at Denmark and see how great they're doing with free health insurance. We are a long way off from perfection and this is just one step needed to take. I know I sound biased, but I only base my observations off of past civilization anthropology.
