Question: Why do hospitals charge people with a very huge bill!?
Like a friend of mine, got drunk and couldnt wake up I called up the hospital and they took him to the hospital and he just stayed over for a day!.

A month later he got a bill that came from the hospital value at $1900!. Thats like 3 weeks of his paycheck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If he tries hard enough, he can convince the hospital to either:

a) line up a payment plan (pay $xx each month)
2) Drop the bill and act like it never happened!.

Seriously!.!.!.by law, a hospital cannot deny services to anyone regardless of age, race, gender, or income level!.

Just be patient with the billing department!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because they are a bunch of money hungry @$$holes!. It shouldn't cost that much!. I broke a finger and dislocated my knee, but couldn't go to the hospital because I have no insurance!. My finger healed incorrectly and hurts all the time!. I hate HMO's and doctors!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hospitals charge what it costs to provide care, plus a differential to cover those without health insurance or to cover idiots who drink too much and use the emergency room to treat their hangover!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because they can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
