Larry Scott, 59, of Kansas City, is on medications from St. Luke's Hospital for his heart attacks but because he doesn't have insurance, his delays in seeking medical care has led his heart function being severly decreased. St. Luke's found in a new study that patients with little or no insurance are more likely to postpone going to the emergency room when they have heart attack symptoms.
