Not everything is easy to prove
for example : try proving that a hospital bill contains unfounded charges, you cant prove it but there is no doubt
Oh yes, those thick as my thigh hospital bill stacks.
I remember them well.
My wife was in a coma for 10 days with double pneumonia and breathing on a ventilator. I stayed in her room from early morning to late evening every day. I saw how many nurses made how many visits and ditto with doctors. When the monstrous bill was given to me, it was all mostly in codes. I asked the hospital to explain me those codes. They said I would have to consult my doctor. Like the doctor has time to go through hundreds of pages of printed bill.
I told the hospital there was no way in hell so many treatments were done on any particular day because I was right there with the patient 16 hours every day.
So I called the insurance company and told them the bill was padded to the nth degree. And this is the shocking part. Insurance company told me do not worry about the bill, we will pay all of it!
My guess is, the insurance company WANTS hospital bills to be sky high so no one will dare drop health insurance. Every person must buy health insurance and that is more than enough money to pay those padded bills.
