"Some people are worried that the proposals for universal health coverage are a form of socialism. The standard American hospital bill is already a powerful instrument for redistributing income. Typically, hospitals’ list prices, like those Ms. Halley was charged, bear no resemblance to what is actually covered and paid by private or government insurance. So only the uninsured, like Ms. Halley, are actually asked to pay those amounts."
