to be honest, these bills are insane, skyway robbery. Theres no market forces or competition to bring down the price
Firstly, no one has seen the actual bills.
Secondly, how much do you think it costs the hospital to shut off probably
a half dozen rooms in an isolation unit. provide round the clock security, deal with the media,
deal with their own freaked out employees, deal with their community.
They will see a downturn in business as patients opt to go elsewhere because of the Ebola stigmata.
After all of that they will have at least a dozen employees on this patient
and will be providing incredibly costly drug therapy.
IF the hospital collects $500,000 they will still be losing money.
