没有医疗保险在美国生活是否很没有安全感？

If you are sick in the US and have to go to a hospital, you need to pay your medical bills, get receipts, and file for reimbursement with your insurance company back in Canada.  This happened to me back in the early 1990s. I paid about $2000 to the hospital, and got back about $700 from my insurance company in Canada.  The explanation :  too many tests/procedures  performed by the US hospital were considered  “medically unnecessary”  using  the Canadian standard.

I have lived in the US since mid 1990s , so I don’t know if the same rules still apply today.
