The ER Decision

When my dad had chest pain, we sat in the car for thirty minutes before going inside. Not debating the pain—debating the cost. Emergency Medicaid covered that night, but not the follow-ups. The doctor told us to come back. We nodded and never did. People say giving care to undocumented immigrants is unfair. That night, we just wanted him alive. #HealthcareAccess #EmergencyMedicaid #ImmigrantReality #FairnessQuestion
