Why are hospitals most affected by large numbers of uninsured persons?
What will be an ideal response?
Hospitals with emergency departments must provide emergency care to any person, insured or not. A person admitted to a hospital who turns out not to have healthcare insurance cannot be discharged or transferred until he's medically stable. Many hospital-treated persons who are uninsured cannot pay for their emergency care or hospitalization.
