I'm not talking about shopping around for a cheaper hospital. I'm talking about two people going to the same hospital and getting the same service from the same doctors, etc. Everything is the same in the service. The hospital recieves less money by treating the person who has insurance because they have agreements that set prices for services. The uninsured does not have that agreement so they pay whatever inflated cost the hospital comes up with.
As to level 3 maternity ward, it means shit if more babies per capita are dying in American than Cuba.
