Opinion: I didn't have to pay a penny of my $320,000 COVID-19 hospital bill. Is that a good thing?

In March, I came down with a life-threatening case of COVID-19. I spent 16 nights in the hospital, including a week in the intensive care unit. I underwent an emergency intubation, followed by six days on a ventilator. I received services from multiple specialists—experts in critical care, pulmonology, anesthesiology, infectious disease—and a bevy of experimental medications, including the now-infamous hydroxychloroquine.
