They might be paying $400, but that is after the hospital's aid worker has helped them do the paper work to get the $3000 bill paid by the government, charity, a write down on the doctor bill, a contribution in kind by a supplier, bringing the bill down to $400.
Of course, part of the reason the hospital bill is so high is they need to pay to have aid workers who spend all their time finding ways for their patients with no assets and little income to get charity aid to pay the bills.
