[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5895493, member: 58386"] How do you know it's only "a bit extra"? The point is the system served you quite well in your time of need and I'm happy that it did. But you tell me was the hidden tax that was responsible for your positive outcome fair to the people who had to pay it? And the agreed to charges between provider and insurer is negotiated and it very much includes surcharges to cover the cost of charity care because the law requires it. Instead of confronting it you go running off to completely unrelated matters like student loans and defense spending in an effort to deflect it. And please do not continue to misunderstand what a nonprofit healthcare facility actually is. It very much is a FOR PROFIT operation. They don't pay taxes on profits or taxes such as property taxes on their real estate holdings and some get discounted rates for things like water and sewage. It is simply another form of legal tax evasion. Again the only way to severely reduce or eliminate Medicaid spending is to change the law allowing hospitals to deny care to those who can't pay. And you might get it given the ongoing complaint by care providers that Medicaid reimbursements are slow to come and no longer enough to cover costs and care providers are experiencing delays in getting their paychecks some going as much as 3 weeks without pay.
