Now what happens if you can't pay that bill and then need additional treatment? Are you saying you will get the exact same quality of care that someone with healthcare insurance would, even of your medical bills are unpaid? From what I've read, you wouldn't

Absolutely there is no descrimination in our health care system...ever heard of the term Liable.
U think a Doctor or office or hospital will treat someone once and refuse additional treatment because of this issue??? There would be lawyers waiting in line to take that case and those doctors would loose big time.

So minor things, no problem, but if you get cancer you need to get charity in order to get treatment? Yeah, awesome system!

boy u really are missing the point. They will make that treatment regardless of if u have health insurance. Many health insurance plans may not cover the entire cost of heavy cancer treatments. But in a private society we and the doctors have control over these issues where your govt is the sole control over the doctors.
Ur not gonna like this but again a real life story. Its true I dont lie. A friend from Carrier where I worked, his son had a very rare cancer. H.I couldnt pay for the entire treatment only 70%. Problem is that 30% was alot of estimated money over time of the treatments. Well because the hospital was already treating this boy they got to the point where they had to do something, so...ready here we go.
They enrolled him in a new experimental treatment program at the hospital and....ready...THEY ALSO GAVE HIM THE OLD TREATMENT AS WELL. Of course the boy died a year later, that was a given considering. But he was never denied treatment and when that issue with the H.I and personal money and charities couldnt cover it, the hospital administration(yes these are the things they decide in their jobs) agreed to put him in the program..soley for the purpose of treating him.
What happened to that extra 30%. Its burried in the H.I. premium over time.
