Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Public hospitals and clinics regularly provide healthcare services to individuals without health insurance, often free of charge or on a sliding scale based on income. These facilities are typically funded by the government and/or donations. Private hospitals may also provide some charity care, but it is generally limited and may not be available to all uninsured individuals. Multi-specialty physicians' practices and solo practitioners may offer some free or discounted care, but it is less common than at public hospitals and clinics.
