The problem I am describing is rampant. No other business can operate like that. It is shameful and takes advantage of the most vulnerable.
You can come up with a situation that does not fit. That does not excuse the big picture. The costs for hospital services are outrageous and they know it, hide, it, and gouge the most needy people.

Isn’t that the truth! I am told I need a surgery and was referred to a university hospital. The specialist encouraged me to just go and at least meet the doctor who would do the surgery. I figured it couldn’t hurt anything. So I made the five hour drive to meet this guy. We talked for at the very most 15 minutes, but it was probably only like 10 minutes. I have received a multitude of bills from various doctors there just to meet the one single guy, totaling just under $600. It is a racket. I HATE these mother f***ers.
