It means hospital will write off if insurance doesn't cover in 100%.

For my insurance, they will cover 80% of snake bite treatment or 60% for out of network.

It will left me with over $25,000 remaining balance if hospital doesn't write off.

This isn't about you, it's about the fellow in the story. Making it about you makes it....well....political.

Perhaps you missed the OPs request that this not be political.

Is a rose by any other name just as political? Again you will have to discuss that with the OP.
 
Fore! Oh Im Texas? Wow!

Anyway, that guy I just fore! at him is correct, this is political bullshit that I called. Yes, this is purely political.

Even though I understood Obamacare and its intention. Right now the medical cost is on runaway right now. It has been out of control since Nixon Partially de-regulated medical industry back in 70's. Ever since these event, Health insurance has been increased double digits percentile. Mind you, medical cost has skyrocket, and this has to get in control somehow, otherwise there will be windfall.

The point here is that this poor guy got bite by rattlesnake, if the health insurance become requirements, and everyone pays health care, his medical bills won't be that high because everybody pays for them. Unfortunately not everyone pays, ending up some without health care got care without paying a penny, who is going to foot these bill? Those who pays insurance, is that justifiable? I don't think so. I personally support universal health care.

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

TXgolfer said:
Heh, how many days until Obama tries twist and use this the way FOXRAC just did. :lol:

Fact is, the exchange student bought insurance as is required for foreign students by most schools. And the insurance will be billed. SO....the system worked.

Granted some reform to the system is needed. But the ObamaCrybabyNannyCare system is not the answer. But it does say something about the Euro's.....doesn't have to pay a thing and he is still whining. Yeah, that's not political or anything.

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? :ugh:

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.

from one moderator, of course but it is up to one to define about name calling.

The report isn't about name calling only but add to make fun of me.
