Wait so there isn't a Healthcare cost problem in America then? I don't live in US but if your uninsured and can just call, say I can't pay and pay much less or just have your insurer pay, it seems to be OK either way?
It doesn't work like the comment described at all. If you can't pay you end up in debt collection and then get a lot of extra fees on top of the already ridiculously high bill. In the end it will bankrupt a lot of families.
The US healthcare system is messed up in a lot of ways.
I’m just saying that many people who are uninsured at the emergency room will end up with a lower total than people who are insured with unsubsidized low quality insurance.
