This is after four days of their refusal to transfer me to another hospital, and after four days of lying about their progress in doing so (it took me 15 minutes on the phone to get my insurance switched to "straight" Medi-Cal, which covers costs at any hospital; VMC insisted that this was not a possibility, and went about looking for options to make me pay for services—even when they could have made an emergency referral, which would have covered costs no matter what insurance plan).
