There's a difference worth noting: you wouldn't only be paying for Joe's

Guess who pays /those/ bills....

Presumably there's already hospital paperwork to cover treatment of
uninsured individuals, so the only additional effort would be to send
the claim to the government.

I assume that the hospital would submit it as an electronic claim and
unless it was exceptional in some way it would be handled automatically.
It seems unlikely that they would have actual people handling most of
that stuff.

Ok - feel free to change "clerks" to programmers, analysts, systems
engineers, application specialists, systems administrators, operators,
tech writers, managers, etc at HQ, regional, and district levels...
