Why do you think the American Hospital Association wrote Obamacare instead of trying to dismantle hospital monopolies?
While they did, our customers are hospitals, and at first they all deeply feared ACA overall. We're seeing far less fear.
I have known of hospitals that closed decades ago due to too many uninured playing economic havoc on them. Perhaps we will see far fewer of those closings happening, which will allow more folks access to nearby quality hospitals.
Do you even know what charity care is? I don't think so. Charity care isn't the hospital waiving your costs and eating them, it is money that has been DONATED to them from various charities to pay for people's bills who can't afford it. That money doesn't go into the hospital's earnings. That's how I arrived at that conclusion.

What hospital feared the ACA? Health stocks rose after the ACA passed.

Do they call special fairies out of thin air to provide the labor, medicine, and resources?

It comes from the CHARITY CARE!!!!!!!! Another one who doesn't know what it is. Your bill, which gets PAID by CHARITY CARE INCLUDES all of that other stuff. DUH!

That's not what Bob is talking about. He is talking about the hospitals eating the cost after treating the uninsured because they can't pay.
