Price Gouging post #1  quote:



Not sure if this is the right place to post this but i was quite shocked to learn that some hospitals are charging patients who don’t have insurance up to 5 times more than what they would charge Medicare for a procedure. Catholic hospitals are doing this too, despite their mission to provide the healing ministry of Christ. Why would hospitals, faith denomination or not, do this?

Why does it not surprise you? Maybe the regular hospitals, but the Catholic hospitals are completely going against their religious beliefs to help the less fortunate. I think it is horrible.
