Please stop being a nitwit. They are non-profits that are absolutely bankrupting people. Make that last statement makes sense.

Hospitals are just one node in an opaque network of care. That network is opaque, so impenetrable, that they try to make you sign a "I'll pay for anything" waiver before you know what services you will need. They do this so that YOU are the one holding the bag at the end of it all.

It's so bad, in fact, that they can't tell you the cost/prices of procedures even AFTER they do them. Congress has recently mandated that they post costs/prices... and they can't seem to do it.

Shit broke.
