The tax payers will be covering the costs and/or the health insurance rates will increase and the health care industry will use this as a great excuse for the increase. I had a motorcycle accident almost 1.5 years ago and it cost over $18,000. Luckily I had medical insurance, plus the man who hit me had auto insurance of $25,000 but I had to pay back my insurance company after I received my accident settlement.
