If you have been in the Emergency Room or had a hospital visit recently, you have been exposed to the crisis in health care. It starts when you walk in the door, it's all about your health insurance and or your ability to pay. Insurance companies and for profit hospitals have destroyed the American Health care System.
Once upon a time health care was about caring for the patient. If you didn't have health insurance you could work out a payment plan that was sensible and equitable on both parts. Now, if you can't afford insurance and you have to make a trip to the ER, you can bet that you will receive threatening letters and phone calls from the hospital billing office. Within a short period of time, your credit will be in the toilet. Thank you big business for helping destroy the health care system.
The health care crisis has so many parts and this is just one part of the pie. Congress allowed hospitals to penalize working class citizens for their inability to pay a hospital bill. Until Congress gets off their high horse and fix their past mistakes, more and more Americans will be faced with mounting health care costs and bad credit.
