But my question assumes that that would not be the case under Obama's plan. I guess your answer would be "yes" and you would gladly get insurance so you wouldn't have to face what you faced before. You are at least able to pay off your hospitalization now but you must wonder what would happen if you had a more catastrophic health crisis...
