I see...so they don't get "free" care Some do ... though its not supposed to be free, it just works out that way. As I mentioned, my own cousin got cancer care w/o insurance. ) nor is it free anyway, since if he didn't pay the bill we would have indirectly No, certainly not directly. Hospitals don't submit their bad debts to the government to pay. You can argue they jack up rates to cover bad debts. Its theoretical in this case as his bills were paid. , neither did really pay all the bills, since your mom paid what he left unpaid from his estate, which apparently had the money to pay the final bills but did not somehow. He paid for all his care, he just wasn't alive to sign the final check(s). Get it? The estate DID pay the final bills. Tripping yourself up here brumey. No, you're just making another leap to a lie. The reason I mention him is he's a prime example of someone without health insurance and not qualifying for an existing government program who nevertheless didn't go w/o health care as you guys imagine happens.
