Can't speak for BR General, but some of the..."less desirable" hospitals around here have contracts with Medicaid that gets them reimbursed (at MCD rates) for unfunded care. The patients have to have a screening and prove the financial hardship. If it passes, MCD pays the hospital, patient pays nothing.
The hospital will usually try and get them enrolled in Medicaid afterwards, but most just leave and the cycle starts over.

Louisiana reimburses hospitals for anyone uninsured. People come in all the time without insurance and leave without insurance, and don't pay a penny, because John Bel picks up the tab.
