Jiro

you misunderstood. what he meant is that he did not want the nature of this thread to be a political argument as in.... Blame Obama this, Blame Obama that.

This is what you said that made Foxrac give you a warning you not to turn this into a political matter

My post is nothing political. It is specifically about $143 hospital bill and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

since this question isn't political.... I ask again - "so under your current healthcare coverage... you'll be fine in case of $143k hospital bill?"

For that question.....Yes. But the rest is most certainly political.

Are you playing game with me?

Not all insurances will cover 100%, they only cover certain percent that stated by benefit book.

I don't know about this student and their insurance coverage.

It isn't uncommon for insurance to pay in certain percent, mostly 60% to 80%.

Not sure why you keep repeating that. You made it. Lear the this thread is about the student in the article. The student in the article survived and is not going to be billed....according to the article. So, this is good news.

If his insurance pay 100% so it is great.

If not then hospital will have to write off if they don't want bill any remaining balance to patient.

Pretty no difference from person to other person whoever have insurance.

This article doesn't include about final one after insurance pays.

I'm getting little frustrated now because I'm trying to clarify to make you understand, however it is not agree or disagree. It is all way for how insurance works.

Oh that would be where we disagree of course. I just tried to follow th OPs wishes. Not my fault those wishes changed and the subject kept bouncing around.

yes.... you were heckling around.

shame that nobody can even abide by a simple rule of conduct. for that, I guess there's no need for me to stick around since nobody's interested in having an intellectual conversation about this without resorting to politicization and flaming.

Sorry, that's not end of story. You don't get it.

1) Patient receives medical treatment

2) Patient gives insurance information to someone who register

3) The hospital bill to insurance company to make payment

4) The hospital receives payment from insurance company

5) The hospital make change the balance after insurance paid all or some.

6) If balance is all clear because insurance pay 100% so they don't bill any remaining balance to patient, it is known as OUT OF POCKET. - All done...

but... if balance isn't clear, especially only pay 80% of $143,000 - means $28,600 to left.

7) It is up to hospital to write off - all of balance or just some part.

8) All final bill with updated balance after insurance and hospital write off covered so will send to patient so it is their responsible to pay out of pocket expenses.

Now, the article doesn't say about out of pocket expenses so they are currently BILL to insurance company right now.

My aunt is director of nursing and I learned from her about how insurance works.

O, Thats right yeah TXgolfer.

Seriously, this is political issue. If you want changes, it has to go to political process, right?

I know you want to stay low, if staying low then I bet your ass that nothing will change.
