This recent Time magazine article is opening the eyes of many people to hospital billing practices. This is a meticulously researched article that gives eight case studies along with comparisons of many hospital charges for non insured people compared to private and Medicare insured patients and the numbers are astounding! Also gives numbers on profits and CEO salaries which are also eye opening. No wonder medical bills cause 60% of the bankruptcies in the US.
For those of you without the fortitude to read the 24,000 word 36 page article below, I have also included a 3 minute video of the author Steven Brill discussing the book.
