Hospitals to Underinsured: Pay Upfront

To Mark R: You do realize that if the information stated by the WSJ reporter was untrue that the hospital would sue the Journal for libel. I find it interesting that you fail to address the key issues in this piece such as insured individuals being charged full retail price for medical procedures. Just because you find it "hard to believe" does not mean it isn't true. I suppose you defend all the $million+ pay packages these "nonprofit" executives receive at the expense of the middle class. The poorest are taken care of because they have no assets. The wealthy are taken care of. It is the middle class who gets screwed because they have some assets. If you are as educated on the subject as you claim to be, then please comment on SA the federal law that cites turning away patients is illegal. I'm sure the WSJ would be interested. Please tell SA readers where you get your health insurance.
