By "does not apply" I meant that you can't use the same logic in a health situation. You're mostly just paraphrasing.

  Say more if you don't mind. What logic did I use that isn't right, and why can't it specifically for a health situation? I'm guessing the argument here is that you can't expect someone to have the chance to make a nuanced decision or to turn down care because of the terms a hospital requires you to agree to. That's simply not true. Beyond the obvious, but unreasonable, fact that one doesn't actually have to get treated there if they don't like the terms, it's a contract and contracts have to be agreed to by both parties. A patient doesn't have to sign intake papers as-is. It's a contract, scratch out what you don't agree to and add your own terms if necessary. Include "Under duress" with your signature and make sure the person at the desk is aware. You aren't trying to be difficult or fight with them, you simply don't agree to some of the contract and are making that legally clear while signing in.

    > because of the terms a hospital requires you to agree to. No. You cannot make a nuanced decision when you're in an accident and are rushed (unconsciously) to an out-of-network hospital, or any kind of similar emergency situation. Negotiating a medical contract is not like signing a car lease. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand? Have you actually been to a hospital, or in any form of even mild pain?
