Some advice from this podcast: if you require emergency medical care in the US, are given an agreement to pay & believe you may be subject to predatory billing, sign "I did not read." The ER *must* provide emergency care & this *may* provide some cover if you can't or don't payhttps://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1167517720830603264 …
I'm not suggesting that the system be altered to delay stabilizing patients in order to discuss pricing. I do think that this should be the *immediate* next step after the patient is stabilized, and that standard fees for accessing the ER be made public.
