Not everybody has to pay for everything. Only 15.4% of the
population (48 million people) are without health insurance,
and some of those do without it voluntarily, preferring to
pay the penalty than the premiums.

My husband has been hospitalized twice (no transfusions, since
that's the implicit topic of this sub-thread) for several days
each, and we never saw a bill.
