Can you really get full on cancer treatment at your local ER

Can you really get full on cancer treatment at your local ER?

Surgery? Chemo? Radiation? All for 'free'? I dunno..when I had the big C I had to chase around all over town, but lucky me, I had good insurance. Should I have just stopped by the clinic and saved all that time and hassle?

You will not be denied health care. But will for responsible for the bill.

when i was coughing up and crapping out about two pints of blood a week from End-Stage Liver Cancer i would have to go to Emergency all the time..... to get Stabilized and sent off to get a Transfusion of a couple of pints of My Rare Type of Fresh Blood, sometimes having to stay in Intensive Care Unit for over a Month at a Time because the Cancer was causing both of my Kidneys to Shut Down into Total Renal Failure........ Emergency Rooms are for when the Symptoms of Cancer Overwhelm you Body Functions so you go there then they send you on a path of Specialist and Test and Medication~!

Absolutely not! The emergency room is not for cancer treatment, its for immediate life threatening emergencies and for mild emergencies like sutures, broken bones etc. Cancer is a terrible thing for sure but there are more appropriate places to go.
5 :
No.
