Have all health care/insureance companies cover baker acting

Created by A.S. on January 06, 2013

As of late I've had a few friends being baker acted. Which is when somebody is taken to a hospital by force because of a mental health issue that has caused the person to be a threat to themselves or others around them. Now note that the person being taken has no say in this at all. They're taken to the hospital and are kept there for at least 72 hours, more if necessary. This is often the case with suicidal or people who have been self harming. I've heard of families being billed thousands of dollars for something their family member had no say in. They were taken to the hospital and that was that. Some families cant afford to pay these bills at all. Please sign to get these medical bills covered for people who really need it.
