If it was another administration I wouldn’t be suspicious. But hospitals do rip people oof. The assumption is insurance or taxpayers are paying for it. When I negotiated my surgery they immediately went down 50%. When I went line by line through the expenses there were dozens of charges for things I never used or my doctor requested. They got caught and they knew it

I had a MRI when I had appendicitis the hospital billed my insurance $8,000, the insurance paid $5400, they them proceeded to try to get me to pay an additional $540. I told them I would pay $40.00 which is 20% of what the service was advertised by a company in Dallas. They threaten my credit rating so I told them if they did that I wouldn’t pay them anything and would not use their facilities in the future. I got one more call and have never heard from them since. Last time I checked my credit there was nothing on it!!

Same thing happened with college tuition, they assumed student loans and taxpayers were paying for it.
