Reply to comment by FiregoatX2 in Surgery options by Anima_EB

But I know the price of the car, what it looks like, how it works and the dealer doesn’t sue me the minute I drive it off the lot. I can choose my car dealer. My car insurance company doesn’t dictate the type and model of car I need. I’ve also never had to purchase a car or be permanently disabled. I’ve never been given a car and then told I have to pay for it in ten days or risk losing my house. No car dealer has ever told me I was buying a Kia and then given me a Porsche and expected me to pay the difference. Our medical billing system is arbitrary and predatory. Buying a car is not.

You can shop around for healthcare too. As far as a life threatening surgery, hospitals do those all day long and most of those don’t pay. Somebody has to pay the bill or the hospital will close and then you’ll have no healthcare.
