'They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!': Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment

•MailOnline spoke with patients who were told they would have to pay their bills in full if they couldn't prove they had insurance
•One was faced with a $3,000 hospital room charge and opted to leave the hospital after experiencing chest pains
•'Should I be in the hospital? Probably,' she said

•Another, coughing in the cold, walked out without receiving a needed chest x-ray
•Consumers face sticker-shock from medical costs under the new Obamacare system, made worse if they can't prove they're insured
•As many as one-third of new enrollees' applications have seen problems when the government transmits them to insurance companies
