I see a lot of Hospital bills in my line of work...its very common for a hospital to submit a bloated bill to Insurance and accept 10-20% as full payment, and yet some poor, uninsured bastard will be expected to pay it all, or face litigation. I am all for hospitals turning a profit, but not on the backs of those least able to pay.

Every hospital bill I've ever seen provides a "private pay discount" to those without insurance. Sure that doesn't mean much when the bill is still 20k, but I've never seen the uninsured get billed more than the insured, ever.
Also, anyone can settle a debt in any service for less than they owe. It's called negotiating or getting a lawyer to do it for you.
I imagine every hospital manages litigation differently.
