Poverty and not having health insurance is very difficult in todays world as the cost of medical expenses is too high. I have seen physicians and nurses responses towards different types of patient and they vary accordingly. People who are uninsured often face descrimination in health care settings.
According to me the reason why they feel descriminated is because they are not given good attention and they feel that they have not been explained their treatments or procedure whatsoever.
As in hospital settings the physicians and nurses are more attentive towards the people who are insured because they know that they will be able to pay hospital expenses. While some people who are uninsured might not be able to pay hospital expenses and may run away without paying hospital bills or may ask for DAMA (Discharge against medical advice) sometimes.
Sometimes, patients who are insured recover faster than the one uninsured because the amount of care and treatment received is very expensive.
My experience: I was once working in a Diabetes specialist hospital, so the physicians or the nurses over there would advice or show continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) equipment which is very expensive or costly to only who are insured or could afford it.
