thank god I work in a hospital. there are serious issues with healthcare that need looked into. for one insurance companies pay only a percentage of the bill. plus they make deals to pay a cut rate. medicade/medicare. pay pennies on the dollar.

how do hospitals make up the difference? the same way stores make a profit. mark up on the cost. i know of items that cost the hospital i work at that cost say $85 that they charge $480.
plus alot of them run as not for profit, but when you go digging theres a foundation that supports the non profit hospital.
