Acre,

I am not sure where in TX you are from but I am from San (42

years) and I can tell you that at University Hospital (a teaching

and formly county hospital) you are treated with the same care as if

you had insurance. Its their mission to find and treat anyone from

any background. I have been on both sides of the fence there and

did not see a difference for any illness be it a serious one or a

minor one. Private/System Hospitals will sometimes give you grief

but even there we were seen without an being neglected. You might

want to start looking outside your boundaries and see that all

hospitals in TX are not that bad.

BTW, this site holds many informative individuals that maybe do not

give you the answer's you were wanting to hear but are telling you

the truth!

Hope you have a good day.

Is the Hill/Burton Act still in effect? That's the one if you

receive federal funding you must treat so many people without

insurance. I know 30 years ago I was without insurance and used the

emergency rooms for my son.
