re: I'm not sure it's a question of clarity but rather a question of assumptions. Poor people don't pay $940 for a sonogram because poor people don't have $940. If they can't pay, then they're not subsidizing anyone. What do you think, that the hospitals say "OK you don't make much money, you don't have to pay"? If a person doesn't pay, they hound the person for a while and then they sue to garnish wages. Just like any other business.
