>>509198642>insurance keeps their desired marginsMedical insurance is mandated in the US that it can only make 10% profit any year. Any profit above that must go back to paying for medical care. They also have the numbers game mastered with their actuaries.
> Hospital’s true customer is insuranceYou are responsible for making sure the hospital gets paid, including knowing your coverage
>overcharge the tax payerTo get paid from assistance programs, the hospital has to agree to be an in network provider, and in doing so accept the government’s fee schedule, which is way smaller that what they can charge a private party. Every MA patient is treated at a loss and that cost is made up by over charging private parties.
>bloated salariesIt costs $300K plus to go to med school, not to mention it takes 8 years of not working and not saving for retirement to get there, and then a 3-4 year residency where they make like 70K a year getting worked like a slave. They unironically need to make that much, or only retards lacking basic math skills would go into it.
