Many uninsured people see the same doctors insured people do, but are considered "self pay" and pay their medical expenses out of pocket. Often, people with no money or insurance will use hospital emergency rooms to address their health problems, often leaving the hospital and the community to absorb the cost of that medical care if they're unable to pay.

Do you need uninsured mortorist coverage if you have health insurance?
Well, health insurance won't repair your car will Uninsured Motorist will. Your health insurance won't pay for your friends, relatives, or children's friends who happen to be in your car when you have an accident with an uninsured motorist when they don't have health insurance. If they are injured and have no health insurance they will look to you for payment of their injuries. The cost for U.M. coverage is relatively small for the coverage that you get. Also, if someone hits you and has no insurance the Uninsured Motorists part of your policy will act as if the person had the required insurance that they should have in paying for your losses. After your losses are paid they will go after the other party to recover the costs paid that they should have paid. The costs to collect these funds are paid by your company and once they collect these funds even your deductible will be recovered and sent back to you. The legal costs to collect these costs could be substantial.
Who pays for the health care of the uninsured?
We all do. In the United States it is against the law to turn anyone away from emergency room treatment. Uninsured people often go to emergency rooms instead of regular doctors for that reason. If they can't pay their bills the hospital eats the cost which is then passed along to the rest of us through higher costs which then result in higher insurance premiums.

How many uninsured homeowners are there?
Nobody that I know of tracks records for uninsured homes. The best you could do is try to find out how many homes there are and how many are insured, from there you might be able to extrapolate an estimate of uninsured homes. I would not however go with the result as a firm number of uninsured because many people use international insurers, so those policies would not necessarily be counted by our domestic insurers. They simply would not be on the rolls of domestic insurers but that does not mean they are uninsured.

Are people worried about the health care plan?
yes lots of people - I know that I am definitely worried about a National Health Care plan. If over time national health care grows larger and more dominating, it will make private companies go out of business. With less private companies, there will be less competition for health care companies to try and persuade people to use their health care plan. When there is no competition, National health care will not have be try to be the best it can be, because there are not enough other options for people to go to. And when health care is no longer trying to be the best it can be, it will lead to serious problems.
How many people dont have health insurance in the us?
In 2011, approximately 48 million people under age 65 had no healthinsurance. (The vast majority of Americans over age 65 have Medicare, though almost 700,000 of the elderly also had no insurance.) This translates to about 18 percent of the people under age 65. Under the Affordable Care Act (health reform), the percentage of people uninsured should go down by more than half.
