Healthcare billing is too broken for me to endorse blindly paying things. Routine care, co-pays, planned procedures, sure, pay your goddamn bills. Get hit by a car, loaded into an ambulance, and stuck with a $15k bill that your insurance company refuses to pay because it's "out of network"? Tell them to pound sand, they have no right to extract your life savings in rents simply because they happened to be the hospital closest to the relevant ambulance. Yes, it's technically "theft", but the property right being violated has no business being granted in the first place.
