my dad got a hospital bill last month.
went in for chest pain. stayed 2 nights. nothing serious.
the bill was $34,000.
insurance covered $21,000
we owe $13,000.
he's 67 retired on a fixed income.
i went back and looked it up.
the hospital reported $2.1 billion in revenue last year.
$2.1 billion and they're billing a 67 year old retired man $13,000 for 2 nights.
