I've been in the healthcare industry for most of the last twenty years, at two different hospitals and now I'm at a state office for a large healthcare provider. All of my employers have been not-for-profit.
I guess I'm humored when people gripe about how much doctors take home on payday but would never do the same for attorneys.
Remember when hospitals were “not for profit” and instead became a money making machine for stockholders? And we're making America Great Again?
You need to read the story of the N.M. mother and what happened to her.
An amazing story of what happens to people when things start to go bad. The hospital demands payment, sues, and the unbelievable fallout from it all for a divorced mother working two jobs to support her three children. No one in America should have to deal with this problem!
Read that—
It is a one-hospital town
And that hospital is owned by a corporation that does the same thing in other towns where there is little to no competition
And you really have to wonder how good the quality of care is in place like this as well
I would be interested to know how often the inspection system that is supposed to review hospitals has come here or to any single-hospital in a small town...
Someone points out the problems with the practices of a hospital and your first response is to tell them to open a hospital. What a wonderful human being you must be.
Healthcare is a sensitive subject for republicans. One must tread carefully.
Hmm - hospitals are not McDonalds. Nobody goes there unless very ill or in pain or delivering a child. Funny to you and worked where?
I don't work there, but i spent 3 months at the border escorting illegal immigrants and asylums to the hospital for medical checkups ranging from a common cold to surgery

Attempting to collect debt is a bad practice?
She likely could have negotiated the bill ( 50%) and arranged for a payment plan for the balance.
Instead, she claims to not have received a bill and ignored the summons.
I can’t get behind the NYT paywall. It is common for hospitals to sell bad debt, cents on the $. Collection agencies are more likely to use the courts to pursue deadbeats, especially for relatively small claims.
