When some patients don't pay, this hospital sues

So much for obama care...

Americans with insurance are finding that an ER visit can turn into a financial nightmare.

That's because of two trends happening at the same time: Hospital prices are on the rise, and so is the use of high-deductible insurance policies. Some insurance plans have deductibles as high as $7,900, according to HealthPocket, a plan comparison website. That means patients have to pay that amount before insurance kicks in.

Let them sue. The medical billing frauds are so pervasive all you need to do is take it all the way to a jury trial. Most of the public is outraged already, especially if they have elderly family members they're taking care of. What is the point of paying such high deductibles? It's fraud, and it's why the insurance companies wanted OBamacare in the first place, despite all their fake whining; that was just for show. Anybody who doubts this can just look up which Party gets the most bribes from insurance companies; they're listed under 'campaign donations', but yeah, they're bribes.

The public is too stupid to remember when states like Texas passed laws forcing mandatory insurance on autos; it was supposed to reduce insurance prices n stuff, according to the industry ads and pols, anyway, but of course prices just tripled and more. People must be happy with that, though, since they never do a thing about it.

If you read the article they are garnishing wages, putting liens on people's houses..


I didn't know New Mexico allowed that, only thought it was South Carolina (but the state does that)

Only stupid people will let a state give companies that power. That's ridiculous; it guarantees frivolous lawsuits against people who can't afford lawyer vermin.

Is she on the ACA, and by the way even if you are, hospitals still can sue. She has a high deduct plan. Its cheaper per month.

A hospital in Mi can also sue and put a lien on your home.

Nothing to do with the ACA, lawsuits were happening before and at a higher rate.
