I totally agree with you. In the clinic where I work, at least 15% of patients that I see are uninsured. Here in Jacksonville Florida, we have a referral program for the uninsured. Most of these facilities are volunteer programs staffed by volunteering medical providers. The Florida Department of Health also provide services based on eligibility status. According to Geletko (2009), state and local governments spend an estimated $17.2 billion on care for the uninsured, and physicians donate roughly $7.8 billion in services (p1166). In communities with higher social capital and in which physicians provide charity care, the uninsured report having less difficulty obtaining needed care.
