People with health insurance may now represent the majority of debtors American hospitals struggle to collect from, according to medical billing analysts.
This marks a sea change from just a few years ago, when people with health insurance represented only about one in 10 bills hospitals considered “bad debt”, analysts said.
“We always used to consider bad debt, especially bad debt write-offs from a hospital perspective, those [patients] that have the ability to pay but don’t,” said Colleen Hall, senior vice-president for Kodiak Solutions, a billing, accounting and consulting firm that works closely with hospitals and performed the analysis.
“Now, it’s not as if these patients across the board are even able to pay, because [out-of-pocket costs are] such an astronomical amount related to what their general income might be.”
I’m sorry, I meant direct action by say, Biden.
If the Democrats were to follow the Republican playbook, and start fighting dirty.
That would kick off the civil war, and in the bloodiest way possible. But make no mistake, the Republicans will try to start the war anyway. When they do it, the military will almost certainly not be on their side.
That’s why Tuberville was blocking military promotions. The only reason that shit stopped was because Trump is mostl likely not going to win again. Trump is too far gone into his own toxic bullshit. He has die hard fans, but has been scaring away the more moderate side of the republican party.
Thank you for the clarification. I also agree with your third point, and to some extent, this might be the Dems saving grace, being that the Republicans cant seem to protect themselves from themselves.
