Same as if your transmission goes out on your car. It could cost you thousands. Never heard of saving up?

You expect WHO to pay?

If I have insurance, I expect the insurance company to pay what they agreed to pay.

When I needed my emergency back surgery, I had nearly $14,000 in liquid savings. That wouldn't have even come close to covering the first day.

And there's a bit of a difference between your transmission going out, and having a serious medical emergency. If your transmission goes out, you've got options. For instance, you can bum a ride, or rent a car. If the transmission is going to be too expensive to fix right away, you can always buy an old beater for a few hundred dollars.

If you have a medical emergency, and say you can't move your legs, well there simply aren't too many options for you. Have you seen the cost of neurosurgeons lately?

What do you think neurosurgeons should cost?

How do you think they should be paid?

[Atlas Sneezed]

So pay the bill yourself (if you spent your dough on things other than insurance) or pay it now, and borrow to pay it off over the time that the medical treatment made you able to work.

You still want ME to pay?
