They let you die dead. Then they sell your body parts for burial cash.

They bill you after. If you go to the ER they eventually treat you.

Yes. If your unable to pay you'll fuck up your credit score. Making it very expensive to buy a house or car. Many end up declaring bankruptcy.

Depends on wot you want covered. Prior to the new laws, if you had any health issues in the past such as a car accident injuries that were the fault of someone else - Insurance company still held you responsible.

So EVEN if the person at fault paid for it YOU end up with a bad record - Cost of new insurance plan wood be sky high.

That was a few months ago - Now/ No one really knows but look at this

Americans will pay an average of $328 a month for a middle tier health plan, while other analysis shows that health costs may go up for younger Americans under the Affordable Care Act.

Most medical expenses aren't considered on credit reports and they do not take your home or bankrupt you.

No not medical expenses, unpaid medical bills. Never said they took your house. But having fucked up credit score will make it very expensive to borrow money.
