Episode 122: Does everyone get healthcare in the U.S. when they really need it? (Rebroadcast)
2 Docs Talk: The podcast about healthcare, the science of medicine and everything in between. - Un pódcast de Kendall Britt, MD and Amy Rogers, MD
If you've had many conversations about healthcare reform, it is likely you've heard some variation on this theme: "Hospitals have to provide care for people who show up. So everyone can get healthcare when they need it. So when people say that can't get healthcare, that isn't true." Is there any merit to that argument? Spoiler: NO. But if you want to hear more about where that idea comes from, take a listen.
