re: Study: significant increase in patients who can't afford to pay full hospital bill

The company that owns Blue Cross is up almost four times over what it was just five years ago.

"Non Profit" hospitals are doing capital expenditures of massive proportions to, on paper, stay non profit while they pay themselves massive salaries.

This is not a market on the verge of collapse. This is a market with no pressure to compete on price because the government is so deeply involved.
