re: Arkansas hospital lawyers up, sues for medical debt

The healthcare system is fricked in every single possible angle.

Hospitals would be lucky to break even. Why? Because their bills are so expensive for the dumbest shite. Insurance companies choose when to pay and when not to pay, and there is no rhyme or reason for why they choose to do so. Hospitals are constantly paying for the newest and most expensive machines and medicine that come out, thus pushing more costs onto the patient. Patients come in because they have a runny nose but need to waste a doctor's time at the ER. Same person is probably on Medicaid that 1. does not have enough money to pay most bills and 2. Medicaid will probably not pay most of because as I mentioned, they will choose when to pay and how much they feel like paying. It is all royally fricked.
