Paul- I am not sure what point you are making but this is my experience when husband broke his leg 7 weeks ago. It still has the plaster on and is slow to heal.

Although we are unhappy that this happened, we have not had to pay for the 2 weeks acute hospital care, all the care before and after, and are still receiving excellent care through an outpatient program until it is properly healed. This lifts huge burden from us. All medicine needed in the hospital is free, and we have heavily subsidised medicine from our own pharmacy, even free, if the total reaches $300 during the year. The whole episode has cost us NOTHING.

I hope that this will be the experience for all Americans from now on.
