Best Healthcare System in the World

No Surprises Billing Act.

To get around this, have them manually print off the form, cross off what you don't agree to, sign it and hand it back.

A reminder that you ARE NOT REQUIRED to waive your federal rights to receive care.

Of Course They Did

It appears that healthcare providers are trying to deceive patients into signing a waiver of their rights under the No Surprises Billing Act. 

Why am I not surprised.

As is noted a bit lower in the thread, this waiver is almost certainly unlawful, as it does not provide the required information on the expected cost of said services.

This is why I am opposed to a single payer system and support instead a National Health System similar to what is in the UK.

The profit motive corrupts healthcare, and if all the government does is sign the checks and occasionally look for irregularities, then the profit driven rat-f%$#ery will continue.

The government does not need to merely control the payment for services, it needs to own those services.
