I can't respond to the hospital situation. I haven't had health insurance for most of my adult life and do my damnedest to stay healthy. About ten years ago, my girlfriend at the time had a tooth go abscess and her face swelled up like a balloon in the middle of the night. We went to an ER and they didn't do anything. We went to a dentist the next morning at 8:00AM after one of the most miserable nights of my life. I think it cost me $1,500.
