[QUOTE="Mark K 2, post: 1002213, member: 55685"] That $7000 bill will be negotiated down to about $1800 by the insurance company and the hospital/doctor will voluntarily accept it. That's what modern health insurance is... a discount program. In the meantime, the guy without insurance has to pay the entire $7000... and if he doesn't, the hospital will garnish wages and take him to court to get their money. This is what happens when Americans don't shop around for health care. They think, "Insurance will pay for it." I don't know about others, but I shop around for the cheapest MRI and CT scan. My local hospital charged $2200 for a sinus CT scan. I found another hospital nearby that said they'd charge $1200 and accept a 20% discount for cash. Guess where I went. That's the responsible thing to do... it's everyone's DUTY to help keep health care costs down. [/QUOTE]
