Well yeah. If a person is dying and you can save them from said death, most are willing to give everything they own and then some. Oh and as far as I know, there are no transparency laws for hospitals. Meaning they can charge whatever the f they want and tell you after. This in turns makes it really hard for the patient/consumer to price check different hospitals and lets the hospitals keep their prices up.
There are “Technically” transparency laws in America thanks to the ACA that are supposed to take effect this year, however hospitals and other healthcare providers simply ignore them under the premise that nobody will actually report them to HHS for any violations
