And so the drumbeat begins. Look for a deluge of stories about EEEEEEVIL hospitals destroying peoples' lives, and oh, if ONLY we would elect Democrats and socialize medicine none of this would be happening.

Probably would’ve been cheaper to go in as a cash patient.

UVA is a state run institution.
Irony.

I wonder how many lives were ruined by the IRS in this last year?

Funny how all of these health care woes began in the Obama Regime.

"The $164,000 billed to Waldron for intestinal surgery was more than twice what a commercial insurer would have paid for her care . . . . Charges on her bill included $2,000 for a $20 feeding tube." They have to pay for all the hospital system administrators.

Should have gone in saying “No habla ingles’. Then it would be ‘free’.

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN number one hiring is for debt collection.
Be very scared if your Dr suggests you go there.
Very few are really helped and many are up to their eyes in debt because they were improperly referred.

UVA is also immersed in the whole LGBTQP thing. Go to an appointment there and you will find yourself facing some student who's there to "collect information". That information will include sexual preferences information. I was recently asked, with unabashed glee, if I was sexually active with male, female, or both. Sickening and offensive.
Further, they have sucked up ALL the surrounding doctors. My old doctor used to be independent, and I think he held out for as long as he could. Then his practice got sucked into the UVA system and the same mind numbing PC process-bot crappola got applied to everything. Shame. I liked him.

Yes actual cost of the surgery plus profit for hopital and doctors was probably less than 10k. The other 154k is to pay for all the protected classes who get care for free.

Hospital administrator Lagree : “Let’s go bankrupt some innocent families today.”
Assistant Whiplash: “Heck yeah! Especially the ones who haven’t defrauded the system or anything.”
Administrator: “Get these files down to DeSade in the Harassment Department.”

That is definitely t-shirt and bumper sticker worthy in all seriousness.

Am I temembering correctly? Obamacare meant medical bills are now on your credit hisory. I cannot remember if that change also made it easier to come after everyone who isn’t getting a free ride?
But yea, now everyone is showing up for dinner and no one wants to pay.

That’s what I do. Ever since I heard of a company called the Rawlings group:
https://www.rawlingsgroup.com/
Think of them as the “institutionalized ambulance chaser”.
Did you break your leg while playing at your grandma’s house? So you go to the hospital and insurance takes care of it. Then Rawlings comes after your grandma for payment.
With the exception of acts of God, subrogation means always being able to hold someone accountable for anything injury related.
