And I’ll wager that the hospital dropped 70% of those inflated charges right off the bat.
They charge that much money because of insurance.

Their insurance was mostly Medicaid. $201 million. But $101 million was self funded. The rest was Medicare, commercial insurance, and HMOs.
Well.....the costs are so high because the hospital is trying to recoup losses for other uninsured or deadbeat patients.
