Now I'm wondering, what do you do if you miscarry late enough during pregnancy that you actually have a dead fetus to deal with? Keeping it wrapped up under your bed or in the freezer obviously isn't a great choice. It seems like going to the hospital would arouse suspicion that you induced an abortion, but I bet an autopsy would probably clear that up.
A friend of mine delivered a stillborn at home, called the hospital crying, and literally carried the thing into the hospital wrapped in a sheet. She felt the need to get herself checked out, so it all added up. If you have no money and no health insurance,though, I dunno if this would seem like an option.
Emergency room treatment is free. Call an ambulance and you go to the hospital and get care (after a 6 hour wait) for free.
ER treatment is not free where I am. A trip in an ambulance is usually around $400 and then the ER treatment can be hundreds of dollars on top of that. They can't deny you treatment if you can't afford it, and sometimes you can get your cost reduced if you can prove you are struggling financially, but they do always bill you.
Yeah. Just to add on. The ER where I live charged me $600 for a damned UTI urine test. Tell me what part of such a simple, and rather routine for me, procedure requires $600.
