Medical care is...: Care is too expensive in the US, with or without insurance. Many people go bankrupt because of medical expenses. Doctor's offices usually need only a patient's identification (so that 2 people cannot pretend to be the same person, as that is absolutely dangerous). Most offices accept cash. Hospitals, labs, or x-ray places may need a credit card or a large cash deposit. ER's usually see everyone.
