Not sure but none of the medical care I’ve received should actually be expensive. Every medicine I’ve ever been prescribed is generic, every emergency procedure would have been covered by state funds had I not paid. The fact that very few institutions pursue me at all for these supposedly owed funds tells me none of them are close to teetering on the brink of insolvency. As someone who as also had healthcare in single payer (the NHS) and presently pays both the government (Estonia) and private insurance (Estonia and US), I have zero problem paying for the general upkeep of the country’s medical system. I simply refuse to believe that because some life saving care was “out of network” the cost to treat me actually ballooned from thousands to millions. It’s an artifact of a system that’s not designed for uninsured/underinsured participants.
