Especially to people who SPECIFICALLY paid you to provide life-saving care.

The people that are paid for life saving care are doctors and nurses, themselves paid by the hospitals (or independent practice) which can be paid by insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, or out of pocket.

Good job, buddy! You're getting it! Now just go one step further and think about what it means to pay for insurance. How does that change who pays the doctors and nurses out of those three options? You're so close!
