But Obamacare will solve all these problem right?---------What about the poor saps that now have a $5,000 plus deductible-----Or please tell me what to tell people that I will have to give them less coverage or they will have a "Cadillac Plan " and be taxed----------This stupid bill does nothing to address the real problems
That's the stupidest thing I've read yet. People go bankrupt for all sorts of reasons. It's not my responsibility to bail everyone out.
The short answer is simple: don't jughead your money and you won't go broke, no matter what the cause.
Also, your scenario does nothing but reinforce the problem we've already identified - Big Insurers. They won today, okay? We understand that.
Further, show me the financials of the air ambulance before you try to turn me against them. Everybody running a business has overhead. I know from selling the coverage that, at minimum, the liability costs for anything that moves through the air is high. Not to mention the cost of complying with regulation.
Sorry. Air ambulances aren't charities. Don't beef with them. Beef with the insurers and the politicians - of both parties - who protect them.

Compulsory auto insurance is to protect third parties from liabilities you might create in operating a motor vehicle.
You notice that there is no compulsory law requiring everyone to carry Comprehensive and Collision coverage. That's first party coverage, your own for the damage to your own car. The state could give a crap about your car being repaired.
You are comparing apples and oranges. Your comparison only makes sense if the state required Comprehensive and Collision coverage.
Understand insurance, please, before you comment on it. And, don't try to compare health insurance with property and casualty insurance. It's not the same animal.

You're not forced to buy health insurance. You can pay the relatively minor penalty. Less than a ticket for driving without auto insurance.

When did a traffic ticket begin to cost thousands of dollars?
