Healthcare in the US is hilarious. I got a bill when Border Patrol forcefully took me to the hospital to "search" me, despite not consenting to the search and them having no warrant or court order at the time care was rendered.
That's right, you can be billed in the US if you never consented to have care, refused to even go to the hospital, no psych hold was in place, never had any emergency at all, and some healthcare workers touched you against your will without a court order nor being under arrest. I complaint to the state nursing board and they said this is all good and dandy.
Name one other country where you can bill care to someone who refused it while being psychologically stable and being alert and oriented to deny consent, and no court authorized the treatment.
