Is it legal to require patients of Blue Cross Blue Shield to pay their percentage of costs of a procedure up front?

Yes, in fact it is quite common. The only exception would be for someone who is in need of emergency medical care, or who is in active labor. The federal "EMTALA" law requires hospitals to provide initial emergency medical and labor care to patients without regard to their ability to pay.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
