Health Care Insurance: Who Needs it in Humboldt County California?

There were 129,000 people living in Humboldt County California. In 2008, 10,169 (approx 8%) of them were for some reason or another discharged from one of the three largest hospitals in the county (St. Joseph’s in Eureka; Mad River in Arcata; and Redwood Memorial in Fortuna).

We know this because we keep up on health care in Humboldt County, who needs it, who uses it, as these are important health insurance issues.

Combined there are 292 beds in the three main hospitals in the county – so to discharge over ten thousand folks, some of the stays had to be short (emergency room, day procedures, testing, etc.) but all of them generated a cost and a bill and the patients are responsible to pay the bills for each visit.

Those in Humboldt County with health insurance were the ones who paid the least. Were you one of them? We are hoping you never have to go to the hospital in Humboldt County or anywhere. But if you do, we are the ones to call to make sure you have health care insurance that is good for a Humboldt hospital or any hospital where you are near when you fall ill.
