No, it's technically called "bad debt and charity care". But your daughter does sound like a welfare parasite.
She is now living in an "assisted living" facility. Which she is not eligible for, so I am told.
But hey, she wins. She wins every times she tries. Before this assisted living she lived at three different homeless shelters. She refuses to own a car and despised that house that Beelow takes care of. Hey, it's a beautiful house and had a magnificent kitchen.
Oh but yeah this is sad but if ever anybody was a welfare maven it is my daughter. She loves the crazy people and wants to be homeless. I been studying this guys, this goes on every day in our country.
Daughter gets everything she wants, even her cigarettes and recreational pot from either the gubmint or she swindles it from the crazy people. She does that very well.
anyway, I know this is not about my daughter and do not forget, heh, I have worked at many a hospital in my life, in accounting. The stories I could tell, even worked at a ghetto hospital in Baltimore, near the zoo, where all the riots happened. This hospital was supported by something we called "grants" which were....eh, grants.
grants to study funny walks, grants to test for HIV, grants to take economic surveys.
Grants.
Well let me shut up but I leave you with a hard thought.
Hospitals are one of the few businesses that MUST provide service even if they know, or are pretty sure, that they won't get paid for it.
It's part of the matter I argue.
