so is anybody actually paying these 200K bills we hear so much about?

No they go bankrupt. I can tell you my experiences, never got a discount for cash. Had to get an eye exam, I wanted a thorough one. I went to my Dad's eye doctor, this was 10 yrs ago. The exam cost me $150 they knew I was paying cash. I have no complaints he was thorough.
So my dad asks me, did you see the dr ? How much did he charge you? When I told him, he said want to know what the health insurance company he worked for paid him for that same exam? $35 so not everyone is giving cash deals.
