How To Steal A Million

I recently watched a special on TV about hospitals and their aggressive tactics of debt collectors. It was unbelievable - hospitals tried to collect on debts from 20 to 30 year old dead in obtaining the assistance of lawyers leaned over and corrupt politicians and lobbyists to do so they can get away with essentially the theft of our insured and underinsured - which is now over 50% of Americans. Hospitals have been aggressively using the attachments of the body where they are essentially a person arrested for an outstanding bill. This is the most aggressive collection tactics and harassment. Most collection agencies refuse to resort to these tactics. It is revisited debtors' prison - the prison for debt was made illegal in the United States in the 19th century. It is essentially a method of extreme harassment to force the payment of the debtor. In general, the resulting loss of wages for the debtor, extreme hardship as many have children, etc. .. Many of these hospitals have also used the collection of zombie debt - trying to collect debt that is non-collection (deceased debtor, over 10 -30 years and non-binding, etc. ..) Several hospitals have used these tactics to threaten and coerce surviving spouses taking on the old debt. Some have even been caught trying to collect on debts erased in bankruptcy. The worst part is how these hospitals and doctors to determine what the actual amount of the debt. Medicare and insurance have set prices that they must accept. But the uninsured are charged much more - much more. At Presbyterian Hospital Charlotte NC uninsured are charged several times what the insured are assessed - 300-400% more, and more. With a little research it was found that the hospital, like many others, was undoubtedly benefit from the insured. If a patient attempts to see how the bill came to be - detailed - it is almost in the foreign code. They do not want you to see the toilet paper from $ 100, the 1000% markup on medicines and supplies, etc. .. It is literally a license to fly non-insured - they can do what they want numbers for costs and collect very aggressively towards them. This must be changed - these hospitals and doctors must be controlled. Formerly, the oath of a doctor had to take to become a doctor was focused on helping people - it has even been changed to favor the doctor and his profit. Hospitals say they find it difficult to cover these costs and - right, thats why the CEO and other board members millions of dollars for little work. The problem we have here is much greater than we can see. The health sector is very volatile, prices are skyrocketing, health insurance and insurance are also increasing at rates that are the source of coverage be reduced or even dropped all together. What the U.S. needs is for the government to regain control. pay the doctor running the hospital charges, billing practices, etc. .. Raise taxes on the rich - to prevent them from giving tax breaks for as shelters. The average American (low to middle class) pay approximately 30-35% in taxes while the rich pay only 1% or less on average. Hospitals and doctors play a game of legalized theft - Enough is enough. Lets take back our health care system and return to what it was and should be - to provide low cost, equitable health care regardless of race, financial background etc. ..
