As a Canadian, I will always find that absolutely unbelievable about American private health care ..... when someone or a family is at their lowest and during the most terrible times of their lives and health care people go up to them and say ..... 'We're sorry for your suffering and your loss ..... but here's the medical bill you owe money on'
You usually don’t get the bill until months later. But yeah it’s not great.
Really depends. Hospital wanted $500 up front before they'd do anything for my pregnant wife. Then bills after too.
