14. The Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land and has not been repealed so assuming as you

say he had insurance, he should be covered. However I don't think it does anyone any good to speculate without all the facts. I have very good health care coverage and have been seen many times in the past couple of years. Recently I received a large bill in the mail which I was not expecting. A quick phone call determined that the billing information was not coded correctly. They apologized and the problem was taken care of. I'm not saying that a mistake is what happened in the situation you described, but I do hear things from time to time, things that are so awful and that information later turns out to be inaccurate. If the person you speak of had insurance it's turns should be dictated by the ACA. Granted, under the ACA there were Gold, Silver and Bronze plans which would dictate how much of the costs the Patient is responsible for, but it eliminated insurance companies playing bullshit games as it relates to pre-existing conditions.
