In fact he admits that he has a Blue Cross plan (probably a sort of Medicare Advantage plan) that covered 80% of the bill. But it’s obscured by the headline and the long rant preceding the admission.
> I wasn’t enrolled in Part B, but did have Blue Cross/Blue Shield supplemental insurance, which required me to pay 20% of the allowable hospital and surgical charges.
