Death by Ideology - NYTimes.com“But that care isn’t free — on the contrary, if you go to an emergency room you will be billed, and the size of that bill can be shockingly high.”

For sure you will be billed..........ambulance to hospital – at least $1000.
                                                    Intensive care – $7000 to $12,000 per day
                                                    hospital room – $1100 to $2800 dependent up state
                                                    Birth/deliver – $9600, caesarian $15,800.
Failure to pay will result in debt collection agency action which may well end in loss of house. Medical expenses are the main cause of all bankruptcies in the USA.
Medical Expenses (42%)
Recent studies have shown that 42% of all personal bankruptcies are a result of medical expenses. The study also reveals that 78% of those who filed had insurance.

Doesn’t sound good to me, but Mitt & Co. want to make it even more difficult and expensive.......................eh!

PS US medical cost stats are aplenty on Google.
