    hospitals in america are required to provide care in emergencies

    Yes thats why I stated anything further then life saving procedures

    Your not getting ICE called

    While not called, ICE has arrested/deported hospital patients

    you’re not required to privide an ID

    Yes you are? At the very least you must provide contact information and who you are. Hospitals are looking to make money off of you lol, not paying is a crime

    And when I slammed into a mountainside in my car the hospital I stayed at was very pissed I couldn’t remember my phone number (I just got a new one) and ran an entire background check on me

    The only thing hospitals aren’t gonna do is share your medical information with 3rd parties due to HIPPA, they themselves are still gonna collect it tho

        Hospitals are only required to give you life saving medical attention, nothing more, which I already referenced twice. And your not simply allowed to go “thanks for putting my arm back on, bye!” If you refuse to tell the hospital who you are after the fact they can and will call the police since your attempting fraud (refusing to pay), if you provide a false ID (name and address etc) then whoever is handling the billing will call the police for fraud
