To be precise I went to a certain hospital in the Cali because of my aching shoulder and feels like I dislocated it in a game of hitting balls(baseball). Back to the story went to this certain hospital wanted to be checked just to make sure nothing serious. Fill out certain papers, pointed to emergency room because they can't accomodate me the usual way because I'm not a resident here in the US of A. Waited for a while in the lobby then called out to talk to doctor(prolly intern) and told me they can't do anthing bout it exept that I can take some medication for pain or I can further consult a physician/therapist. She also provided me some list of centers if I want to go for theraphy then after that I got out and I also asked them how much was the visit. The one in the lobby ask for $10 then said to me it was a joke adding out that nothing needs to be paid here. Fast forward two months afterwards(this morning) I received a letter from the hospital with the bill statement from the hospital amounting $4620 called the hospital bout this and was told that it was the billed for the visit I've done two months ago and they told me it was the flat rate of going to the emegency room regardless of doing something or nothing, I said just what the, but they advise me to go back to apply for some sort of medical aid to lower the bill. Anyway I'm asking if just how f*** I am and will it affect my parents in anyway if I decides not to pay it? Forgot to mention that I didn't purchase any insurance or some sort here.
