I have a hernia that has made its way into my scrotum and i have no insurance. can i go to er and get treated right away?

Possibly. But...: Unless you are in severe pain or vomiting that would be the wrong way to do it. You are likely to end up with a huge bill and be sent to collections. Better to see a surgeon and ask for a 'self-pay' discount. (We give more than 50% discount). Furthermore, the hospital bill is 4-10 times the surgeon fee. Many hospitals will wave the fee or reduce it if you meet their charity requirements
