I’ve had surgery in both, and I like the fact that they are accessible by hallways to each other.  I’m not trying to defend Community per se, but what difference does it make if you have a scope down your lungs at the main hospital or in the surgery center?  Same procedure.  Same building.  Same bill?  They paid their fine, so its over.  I’m not willing to assign guilt.  But I”ll tell you what really gripes me about hospital billing.  They bill you one thousand dollars if you’re on Medicare or have insurance, and six thousand dollars if you don’t have insurance, for the same procedure.  I don’t think they ought to be able to bill differently.  What difference does it make whether you are paying yourself or have insurance?  The bill should be the same.  I know too many people who got overcharged for their hospital work because they didn’t get the low “Medicare”  billing rate, and then they went under financially, ruined credit, lost the house.  How come that isn’t an equal protection under the law issue before the Supreme Court?  Hospitals should have to charge everyone the same low rate whether they have insurance or not, and not jack up the bill for those paying privately.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/3130091106462161889/comments/default/6075584394962551101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/3130091106462161889/comments/default/6075584394962551101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2015/06/community-health-network-agrees-to-pay.html?showComment=1435775373212#c6075584394962551101' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2015/06/community-health-network-agrees-to-pay.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-3130091106462161889' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/posts/default/3130091106462161889' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1114923450"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="1:29 PM GMT-5"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-2082999913962622588</id><published>2015-06-30T18:59:39.302-05:00</published><updated>2015-06-30T18:59:39.302-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Too big to Fail, Too Big to Jail, is the slogan fo...</title><content type='html'>Too big to Fail, Too Big to Jail, is the slogan for our Injustice Department.
