Villas - Before worrying about a health care bill, they should get costs under control. Have sizable deductibles paid in advance for all services. No free medications, well care, birth control, etc. $150 minimum for the emergency room or you get thrown out. That’s a week’s worth of cigarettes for some people or equal to a vet's bills for a dog. Hospitals should post their prices and charge the same to everyone. No more $5,000 phony bills where the insurance satisfies it with $650. When people are made to pay their fair share up front there will be fewer visits and the costs will come down.
