There's no "bill" because its already paid for.
Me, my parents, and everyone who pays taxes in this country, would pay in part for your "free" health needs.
Its not "FREE" .. its free at the time of delivery. Even the person needing the surgery has paid for part of it, if they pay taxes.
... and No, the tax rate here isn't 50%. Its a scaling system where money say over $100k is taxed at the highest rate. I'm not sure what the exact level is, though.
