Pretty much true. No one can be turned away from a hospital.
I meant costless to the end user. To be clear, I am not in favor of background checks for private sales. But if they are going to happen, they should be as convenient to the purchaser and seller as possible.
Or you could simply share your family's gun as you have been doing. I started shooting at 4 and began hunting at 6. I was responsible for and had exclusive of a lot of guns starting with a 410 and a 22 long before I "owned" one. Sharing guns with friends and relatives is not the same as transferring ownership. Although I don't like absolutes, I believe there is essentially zero chance that sharing or transferring guns between family members would require a background check.
Even a state like Oregon exempts transfers between family members and temporary transfers for self-defense from background checks. Obviously, there is a liability if you knowingly sell or lend a gun to who is a convicted felon.
"In 1986, Congress passed the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which contained the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. The law requires hospitals to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay, citizenship or even legal status. It applies to any hospital that takes Medicare funds, which is virtually every hospital in the country."

Urban poor people probably have it best in the US system. They are not turned away, and if they plan on remaining poor they basically have no risk of losing anything through collections. They can just stack medical debt indefinitely. And as long as they live in a city, I'm pretty sure they can find all the free care they need, even (perhaps especially) if they are illegal immigrants. Middle class people are the ones with the real horror stories.
Considering that the American middle class has been under brutal economic attack by the political elite since at least the 90s, I have to assume this is all by design.
The biggest issue has always been rural hospitals and trauma centers -- too many patients by percentage struggle to pay, and there was some small part of the Affordable Care Act that was supposed to alleviate that.
Although most hospitals are required to treat those in need of emergency care, individual doctors aren't required to take on indigent patients. One of the claims of ACA advocates was providing heavily subsidized insurance with minimal or non-existent co-pays to low income individuals was that it encouraged people to visit doctors instead of waiting until something required a hospital visit. Since there was little or no cost for low income individuals to go to the hospital, there was no economic reason for them to wait to make a doctor's appointment when they could go the the ER for free.
In contrast, someone who pays for their own high deductible health plan needs to consider the cost of an ER visit. If one sprains an ankle on Saturday, does he or she spend thousands of dollars to go to the ER or wait until Monday to schedule a doctor's visit. On the other hand, the heavily subsidized individual will get immediate treatment, elastic bandages, crutches and pain meds for little or no cost.
Anyone watching Russell Brand lately?
He used to be kind of a Leftist, but now the Left has been calling him a conspiracy theorist.
I think he's really nailing it.
