Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits
Not the way it works. First you'll have to prove to the admitting desk you can and will take financial responsibility for the care you receive. If you can't do that your care with be restricted to immediate lifesaving care alone. Even then you get the bill, and the same thing happens when you don't pay as happens when you don't pay any of your bills. They put a lien on you, all your earnings, all your stuff to satisfy YOUR debt. If they can't collect it goes to a collection agency which gets to hector you and examine your stool for the next year or so. If they can't collect, the debt is written off, and that's when the pain gets spread around.
what strawman? is that not the truth, i go into an emergency room, rack up several hundred/thousand dollars for treatment, don't have any insurance, because i CHOSE not to carry it, not that i COULDNT IF I WANTED TO, or COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT WITH HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT, but because it was being 'forced' on me i choose not too...so...the hospital treats me, then passes those costs on to those that do have insurance. then those poor saps that have insurance through their employers, watch their cost go up, year to year for the portion they pay for their insurance.
