Hospitals, doctors got rich through shady gender-care billing tactics — and taking advantage of kids: damning report
New York Post ^ | Aug. 13, 2026 | By Chris Nesi

US hospitals and clinics have billed out nearly $120 million in gender-related medical treatments to minors since 2019, putting thousands of children on an expensive and irreversible treadmill requiring lifelong upkeep — with the blessing of doctors and lefty politicians.

Healthcare in the USA is bad because of the shady billing practices at hospitals and doctor offices. About 10 or 15 years ago I went to my doctor to get a flu shot. They pestered me to tell them my insurance. I told thme I didn't have insurance. They said cash would be $150 for a flu shot.

I knew that couldn't be right. Later I found out the county health department would give you one for $10 or free if you were under financial hardship.

There are no “healers” or “caregivers” anymore.
(Well, maybe a very few).
They are all “Profit Centers” now.

Pretty much every ‘medical professional’ within 70 miles of me (including many of the veterinarians)... From Doctors to nurses, to physical therapists to home healthcare aides work for one huge hospital conglomerate.

$10 out of pocket does not mean that the total charges paid was $10. Most likely there is some government subsidy at some level and some point in the transaction / process that drives the price up. The idea that anybody can consider it “free” because there is no out of pocket charged to the end user is objective evidence that we have become conditioned to accepting government spending to subsidize favorite charities.

I went in for chest pains years ago... they stuck an IV in me 5 minutes. the girl walked away and I never seen anyone else for 50 minutes. she came back, took the IV out, and directed me upstairs where I ran on a treadmill for 15 minutes. Right then they told me nothing was wrong with my heart.

Total time: 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Received the bill in the mail 30 days later... $8,792.00

I never paid them a freaking dime. You wanna rip me off that bad? Fine... Go ahead...
