Subject: Re: Buffett’s view on current account deficits
"I spoke to the hospital's Floor Case Manager who said, "Don't worry, we work with them. In any case, if they won't cover you we will not charge you any more than you would have to pay if they did cover you." "

Are you saying that you would only have to pay your deductible?

No. The hospital doesn't know or care about any deductible, so that's not an issue. Anyway the deductible gets taken care of early in the year, first couple of doctor vists.

We would have only had to pay them the copay, which IIRC was a couple hundred dollars a day for the first N days.
