You pay for medical service, either cash or insurance. I don't know where you are from, but doctor charges here are much less than in the US.

Private Medical Insurance

I just bought international major medical insurance ($2500 deductible) good for world wide coverage including up to 6 months in the US - I can check back on the web site but I think I found the link on "escape America.com" -- cost for the year was under $2000. 100% payment in hospital while out of the US - 80% coverage while inside. It only runs til the age of 75. After that I suppose I am supposed to gracefully keel over and make way for the next generation.

Hope that helped some.
