1. What does this mean for the uninsured, ourselves?

Are we still going to be in danger of losing our homes and everything we own because of huge bills we are expected to pay with no money to pay it? I mean, if providers use this program, can they still turn around and charge uninsured patients the full bill?

I don't trust my local hospital. It's a death station during easier times. Plus, random medical personnel will walk by and sign their name to your chart and charge you. I had an anesthesiologist from Pinehurst, who didn't even see me, do anything to me, and wasn't even needed for the procedure do that to me once, then work out a payment deal, then turn me over to a collection agency anyhow, even though I paid on time every time.

Every time I go to my doctor, I get a bill from some place in another area of NC wanting double the bill, saying I still owe even though I paid in the office.

A lot of off stuff happens in any medical place near me. That is why I am asking.
