The hospitals are definitely screwing the insurance companies. I was in the hospital for five days back in 2012 for an infected spider bite. The statement I received from the hospital was for $55K ! A few days later my insurance statement came in. It showed where BCBS settled with them for $11K. I'm thinking if I didn't have insurance they wouldn't have tried to bill me that much. I could be wrong. I just thought it was crazy that they billed BCBS $55K and settled for $11K.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
