If you don't have cash or insurance to pay for expensive in-patient hospital care how are you going to pay for it?
Whether hospital charges are a fair value or not isn't really the point -- people have to get paid for work or services provided.
If you are uninsured and not covered by Medicaid who do you expect to pay when you can't.

The problem with your scenario is there are 2 sets of billing practices. The increased cost price if you have insurance and the cash price. If you have insurance the cost is marked up 5-10 fold. So either way for the most part you end up paying the same. Obamacare has made ALL insurance nothing but high priced catastrophic.
