“Hospitals and medical facilities in general see lots of folks who just skip out on their bill”

Only a person who’s paycheck comes from a hospital can see “fairness” in demanding money upfront from people who have insurance but not indigents on Medicare.

Your comment does not address the issue of hospitals not being paid

I made no comments about people who should not be in the country

As I see it, we have a lot of hospitals who demand big money for treatment, much of that for good reason, but then poor people can possibly need some of that high-priced care which is often way outside even a moderate-income patient’s pay. I know I could never have made it except for Medicare. Fortunately, my family did not need much care until I was eligible for Medicare.
