That happened to me the first year I was here. I went to see a doctor. I told them I had no insurance, so they made me pay BEFORE I got treated. They would have refused me otherwise.
However, once in there, the doctor suggested a throat camera thingey. He failed to tell me, that when I got out, they'd hit me with an ADDITIONAL hefty bill I had no way of paying. Actually, the first I knew of this bill was when I got phone calls from the hospital, and then calls from collection agents. For all I know my credit rating is ruined before I even got one.
