If you actually had been uninsured and responsible for paying the bill yourself, you could have told the hospital “How about I give you $2000 and we call it even?” and they probably would have gone for it.
Under Obamacare, you would have been given a bottle of pain medicine and told to come back in six months when the next available appointment was to actually get rid of the stone. If you were young and healthy otherwise. If you weren’t young and otherwise healthy, you’d be booking a flight to India to get treated.
Obamacare is CRAP
Doom on Obama’s plan.
(Note to Secret Service: not suggesting any harm to The Won himself.)
Oh, sure. IT COULD HAPPEN!!
...negotiate with the hospital....they PROBABLY would have gone for it...
You’re high!
When this sort of things happen to me, negotiating isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. More like give them the finger!
The current system is so messed up it should be criminal.
Obamacare is doing something. Everyone else is doing nothing!
Go Obama!!!
