If you need your fingers sewed back on after you accidentally sheared them off at your home with a saw, you can’t run out to the corner with your sign: “Please, sew my fingers back on!”
If you have no insurance, they won’t sew them on at the emergency room. They’ll cauterize the stumps, stitch you up, and send you on your way.
If you have so-so insurance, they may sew on a couple fingers (until the cost taps out your insurance) and feed the rest to the poodle.
If you are fortunate enough to have really good insurance, or are wealthy, they will attempt to sew on all of your fingers.
Charity does not cut the mustard, or sew the fingers back on, in the United States – even with all of us good charitable Americans.
