I find it hard to believe the small non-paying contingent is unique to the US or even a significant % of daily patients, plenty of other countries have homeless who end up in ED's.
America somehow spends far more than any other country on healthcare and yet patients still have some of the highest out of pocket costs even when they have expensive private insurance schemes, something is clearly broken to anyone looking and it's not the homeless causing it.
