Hospitals are like car dealers. Once you drive into that bay they have to do enough work to cover their overhead.

Not even close.

Hospitals have to do enough tests to protect themselves, and counter the millions upon millions of dollars they lose every year to frivolous lawsuits.

Do some serious medical tort reform like the President has been pushing, and hospitals will no longer have to do this, and health care costs will plummet..

Maybe they realized they had a lawyer in the emergency room and decided to retrieve a little money from the bar association by sticking him in ICU.
