Ding ding ding ding....Congrats You're correct. If you cannot pay the bill because you don't have health insurance, you will be directed towards a couple of options;
1) You pay in full (Never happens)
2) They will let you make payments for a limited amount of time, and it gets reported to your credit bureau.
And the best one:
3) You either don't pay it, or don't pay it off fast enough, they will give it to a collection agency, so you now have to make larger payments and pay interest.
Nice huh?
This is why I believe that we should do something about making healthcare affordable. When I used to do mortgages, I would say about 7 out of ten people had a medical judgement against them. Some were payed some weren't. But to many people have them.
