SILVER LAKE - According to a spokesman with Aurora Health Care, the company never sent a bill to the family of Trevor Hall, a teenager who saved another boy's life as the boy was drowning in Silver Lake.

That contradicts the claim MSNBC's Keith Olbermann made in his "Worst Person in the World" segment during his Wednesday night show.

"Our winner, Nick Turkal, M.D., the CEO of Aurora Health Care in Wisconsin, which operates Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha," said Olbermann.

"The family of Trevor Hill of Zion, Illinois, received a bill from Aurora for more than $2,000."

Spokesman Mike Brophy told Newsradio 620 WTMJ that they have not sent a bill in connection with the medical care Hall, 17,  received.

Brophy explained that his family has reached out in terms of finances, and they are maintaining "amicable contact" with Trevor's "guardian."

He said he could not comment further due to HIPAA laws.

"The hospital wants $2,000 for checking Trevor out, (and) the ambulance company wants $700 after the incident," Olbermann further commented.

"So save a life, swallow a little water, get charged $2,700 for your good deed."
