Charity and providing care to those who present themselves are not the same thing. You might be right though that they don’t bill some people, but that would work the same for citizens of both states.
Do I have it right that you blame Idahoans for coming to Washington hospitals which might mean more Washingtonians die?
Does it really matter what state the person is from who dies?
You’re not understanding the reality of how the current system works. You’re arguing from a place of fantasy.
In an ideal world, this wouldn’t even be a problem. Healthcare would be free, and hospitals would be over staffed with low patient ratios and plenty of beds.
So you are saying your state was perfectly capable of handling its own covid patients? I wasnt aware of any state that wasnt pushed to capacity, but feel free to correct me.
Eastern Washington state borders Idaho. Idaho consistently fought Masking and quarantine. Many people from Idaho would become infected with Covid and rely on a state that did participate in masking and quarantine to help them when their own government refused to provide adequate services and policies. Washington state was already dealing with its own people, and had a hard enough time providing support without a bunch of Idahoans flooding in when they found out the hard way.
While I empathize with the individual, I feel there should have been Covid tests at the border.
You’re starting to sound like a Covid denier who doesn’t understand that while we are “united” under one federal government, each state has vastly different ideas of sanity.

Don’t complain to me about reality.

Maybe I’m wrong but he’s not blaming the people but Idaho’s government.
Correct.
