Can a hospital take money out of your bank account if you have no health insurance?
I can only assume this is in America? In the UK, we pay National Insurance, which entitles us to have free National Health Care, free of charge at the point of need. I also assume that (even in America?) you would need to give your bank details to enable the hospital to extract (with your permission?) to cover medical costs! In the UK, most people can't understand why a person in medical need can be refused medical help!

This also lowers your taxable income. With a HSA, any money not used is lost at the end of the year.
How does not having health insurance become a tax on everyone else?
Because when you don't have health insurance and you get sick or injured and go to the hospital or emergency room you usually don't pay the bill either. Who do you think pays that bill? Money doesn't grow on trees or just be printed whenever the government needs it. The money comes from taxpayers who are responsible enough to purchase their own health insurance. Also health care costs are increased by non-paying people also making the premiums for health insurance increase thereby causing people who have insurance to pay more for their insurance.

Difference between a deductible and a premium?
A premium is the amount of money you pay the auto/health insurance company monthly, quarterly, or biannually whether or not you get in an accident or go to the hospital. The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible. A deductible is the amount of money after you get in a car accident or visit the hospital before your insurance company pays anything. After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.
