Not sure how to feel on this one. Seems like a bad look, sending out random lawsuits for small amounts of money that likely doesn’t make a difference.
Wut? Do you pay your credit card bill? What's the difference? A hospital is a business, not a charity.

It is a business but when you buy something on a credit card you know full well what you are spending and purchasing. When you go to a hospital you may or may not know if a doctor is in network or a facility is in network or how much the procedure will cost before you do it or if you even know at all as in an emergency situation. There is no firm understanding of the cost prior to treatment for 90% of the things done. So I would say it is vastly different from credit card debt.

It was a sad day in this country when this became true.
ETA: And I'm pretty sure most hospitals in this country operate as non-profit.
