It all depends on your insurance policy. We've got health insurance
through my husband's employer. He was hospitalized for three days.
We never saw a bill. I frankly have no idea what the hospital billed.

We have to pay a portion of the insurance premiums. IIRC, it's $150
per month, which includes prescriptions. If he were uninsured, I'm
confident he'd pay more than $150/month just for his meds. My
thanks to all of his co-workers who don't use their benefits.
