A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

It’s called triage. We do the exact same thing in the usa. And that’s the case whether you have insurance or not. They don’t even know if you have insurance at this step of it, to be honest.

Oh yea, but in the states is going to cost you a car or 5.

They do know if you have insurance in most cases but it's against federal law to discriminate based on insurance coverage based on EMTALA and the civil penalty is over $100,000.
