While that is true in a general case, since there is no transparency in healthcare costs and they can hit you with whatever number and “procedures” they like, it’s more of a “how much legal power do you have to defend your assets versus the healthcare provider’s legal power to take your assets” situation.
Which means you need the big guns (health insurance company or your own millions for legal fees) on your side, or else be destitute and have nothing for them to go after. But if you’re in that sweet spot where they can make up a bill since you signed a paper that says you’ll pay whatever you need to keep you alive, then you’re screwed.
