...by whom? Somebody else?
That is a definitive socialist action. If you get cancer, pray a lot. It is NOT part of the social contract we call the US Constitution, for someone to pay your bills...
...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...
You still haven’t answered who is to pay your hospital bills when you get a severe illness seeing as how you don’t think you should be required to have insurance.
Who pays?
Life is not crappy in my opinion,,that is yours.
ANd paying one’s bills does not make life crappy. Having someone else other than you pay your bills, makes life crappy for others unless a population agrees to share the risk.
You want to gamble and us to pay your losses when you cannot. Unless of course you have a million bucks in the bank to pay. Your medical savings account doesn’t contain the money to pay anything other than deducatibles and a few out of pocket expenses.
Bankrupcy? I guess your gamble might result in that. But someone else will pay for it.
ANd if you want to get cancer and pray rather than avail yourself of treatment, your business. But few few people do that. And you won’t know what you will do to live until you face it. Praying is fine. But treatment works better in my opinion.

Most hospitals will negotiate costs. They know they charge too much. You can get a hospital bill knocked down quite a bit by making sure they don’t charge you for things you don’t use (they do that), you can negotiate payments and treatment options.
My mother called around for a better deal on some drugs she needed then had the hospital order them and charge her the lower price.
