> It is a well established practice in the US that billed prices have no bearing on reality and if you are insured, you have no liability to pay them
And if you're uninsured? Or your insurance refuses to cover it? Or it does, but with a high deductible?
My point is that the "well established practice" in question is useless at best and outright detrimental (to say the least) on society. Why even bother throwing out that number unless there's an expectation that someone would pay it?
