Answers:
Thats why Im voting for Hilliary Clinton. health care should be a right and..Paid by our taxes...If they can pay a war they can pay health care
That you should pay your bill?
That should be against the law. see whats wrong with the kids first, then ask for money. try going to another doctor. this one seems to not be very nice.
best thing to do is pay the bill
Doctor's can refuse to see anyone due to an unpaid bill. It's a hassle, but they don't want to risk having two unpaid visits.
i dont know about the law, but your insurance company will probably say nothing. go see the movie sicko, its about health insurance
THAT'S THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. tHE DOCTOR HAS A BUSINESS AND IF YOU DON'T PAY HE DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICE.
it says pay your bill
Pay your bill.
He has the right to refuse to treat your kids.
That's illegal in most states. All states for emergency care. Not only that, but that's unethical and against the Hippocratic Oath.
It depends on the state and country.
In the US, doctors are private professionals and can accept or refuse any patient.
In some other countries, doctors are mostly paid by the state, and must treat anyone covered by state health care plans.
The law says the doctor does not have to work for free. Whether that is the charitable or moral thing to do is another question.
so do you think you should get free gas at the gas station because you have to drive to the hospital?
Sorry, the law is on your doctor's side.
Your family doctor isn't obligated to do anything if you refuse to pay. There are free clinics and free children's health services that you can take your kids to if you can't afford to pay a doctor.
He would only have to check on them in an emergency.
Pay up. You cannot be refused medical treatment in an emergency. But your family doctor does not have to treat your children for the sniffles if you're not paying the bills.
Unfortunately he has the right to do so. A doctor can refuse service unless it is a life threatening situation.
he can refuse seeing you or your kids. it's a free country. plus you don't wan't a doctor like him, just find another one.
it's hard to find doctors who have this passion to really want to help people...
He's not a hospital. He has the RIGHT to refuse treatment of your family due to non payment of bills. I'd pay the bill and get the treatment you desire out of a PRIVATE DOCTOR. No one has a "right" to a private family doctor.
You didn't pay your bill. I know many people have mixed feelings about that, however, the electric company won't leave your lights on if you don't pay. I learned a long time ago that nothing is free and nobody owes me anything.
pay your bill. maybe try a different doc.
but seeing a doctor isn't free. i don't know why you would be confused that he doesn't want to see you after all you do owe him money!
It's his choice.
The law says that you have to pay for services rendered. A doctor has the LEGAL right to refuse care unless it is an emergency. Being sick does not necessarily constitute an emergency. I am guessing by your grammar that you're on welfare anyway so get the taxpayers to foot the bill.
Here's what you do tomorrow. You photocopy 100 sheets of paper that say so and so doctor refused to see my sick children because I was broke. Send one to the doctor. Distribute the other 99, anywhere, and everywhere in the neighborhood of his office, or clinic. Do not sign them.
the law says pay your bills on time.
Well, the company that has the mortgage on his clinic building probably refuses to carry his loan unless he pays them.
Emergency rooms will take anyone regardless of ability to pay.
Our society should provide medical care to children regardless of their parent's ability to pay, but for some reason a bunch of people still seem to think its a better idea to make them go to the more expensive emergency rooms, wait in line forever, and then shift the cost of that to the bills of the people that are able to pay or have insurance. So those who can pay end up paying for the folks that can't pay anyway, only at the higher emergency room rates. If we had national health care insurance, it would be done more efficiently.
Pay your bill of course. Why do you think you are entitled to free medical care? He had to "pay his dues" with years of schooling and has to pay for his office and staff, materials, and tools. Why shouldn't you?
"If you can't feed 'em, don't breed em!"
Nothing.
Morally, it's wrong for a doctor to turn away a sick child, but a practice is a business, and by you not paying your bill, it says you don't have respect for the doctor and his time.
He's not req'd to treat your children,if he's private practice, mostly because if you don't have the funds to do so, you can always go to the local county hospital ER and get treatment there and get subsidized or the fee waived if you're w/out money.
