Which is why I find it even more ridiculous that Arnie proposes an additional 2% income tax on California docs to pay for said indigent care.
And this discussion hasn't even touched upon the disparity in what a physician (or anyone else in the medical industry) bills, and what insurance companies are willing/obligated to pay. Imagine going into a restaurant, and telling the waiter how much you're willing to pay, regardless of what's printed on the menu.
