The same thing a bum would pay...nothing, unless he insisted. Would they sue him across the pond?

The real issue is that the government is never responsible with the money. Theere is no NET to pay the doctor. At least no net realized in by-passing the insurance company. It is gobbled in bureaucratic waste
