The Biggest Bill You'll Ever Get
By Anthony Wright
Executive Director
Health Access California
Sandy Kleffman of the Contra Costa Times had an in-depth story over the Labor Day weekend on hospital billing and "charity care" practices. It's an important reminder about what hospitals' responsibilities should be to respond to the needs of their communities.
A companion story couples these issues with the plague of underinsurance. A douple whammy.

Insurance companies are making our country SICK by no longer covering services that should be covered. Hospitals are now, more than ever trying to just keep above water by the amounts of money being offered to them in the ways of contracts. More hospitals continue to close and the insurance companies are more profitable than ever. Shame on insurance companies by treating people like a crop and not as individuals that are alive.
