Under HIPAA law, they are required to quote you BEFORE the treatment and BEFORE you sign on the dotted line.
Don’t be so naive
Kinda hard to do in an emergency.

This is impossible. Congress passed the Affordable Healthcare Act during Obama’s tenure and we were promised cheaper rates, the ability to keep your doctor, and other awesome shite. I don’t believe it.

Who even thinks of filing bankruptcy over 3-4k? I think you are missing the point of this thread
My point was that you can set up a payment plan for hospital bills.

Someone is involved in an accident and has to be rushed to the closes hospital. They are bleeding a lot and needs attention right away.
I didn't realize they were given a quote and had to sign on the dotted line BEFORE they proceed to save their life.

Think about what you can buy with $650k
Well depending on his prior job without that surgery and hospitalization his ability to earn $650,000 is significantly limited. Also what is the price of the use of his legs? If it’s not worth it to him he doesn’t have to have the surgery.

I wouldn't think it would be prudent for a hospital to set a precedent by allowing a tiny amount. If one person gets by for little of nothing then the next will want to as well. And the next....
They have already covered their operating cost and margin with their contract with your insurance company, anything they receive from the patient above that is a bonus.
