Click below to read the latest press release for HHS, this one is regarding a study which proved that most of uninsured Americans are unable to pay their hospital bill. The article states that about $73 billion in unpaid hospital bills get past on to the insured and their employers.
The article also makes a comparison between auto-insurance and medical insurance, and this makes me wonder if the government is making a case for requiring us all to have medical insurance.
