Um this is the reason for Obamacare. People sticking other people with the bill.

People will gladly pay $500+ for an iphone but will not spend money on their own health. Yet they expect the hospital to be forced to take them even if the they can pay.

Are some hospital charges a ripoff. Oh yes. But they are also open 24 hours a day with highly trained staff ready to try and save your life even if you were doing something dumb. They are on stand by even though you pay them nothing to be waiting.



Fire fighters. Police. Both do the same job, both paid for by property taxes. Why is a hospital not the same?
