Sandra, I hate to burst your bubble here, but if all hospitals wiped out patient bills, then the hospitals would end up bankrupt and out of business faster than Ty Pennington can say "MOVE THAT BUS!!!" Hospitals already eat up cost of care for the illegals that come to the USA, and now you want the hospitals to do the same for us legals too? Isn't going to happen, that I can assure you of. Hospitals are in business to make money. They can't afford to not bill patients that seek their help. It is unfortunate that Mrs. Farina became as ill as she did. But, it appears that she will be fine, and they will find a way to pay the hospital bills. What is more important - hospital erasing the Farina's debt or Shawna getting quality care so she can remain here with all who love her? It's clearly the latter. I have a friend who died from spinal cancer, and his widow still has bills. Then, there's a neighbor that had breast cancer, survived, and has hospital bills to still pay. Then, there's my ex-boyfriend's 10 year old niece that has a nasty form of leukemia. This girls mother told me that her insurance doesn't even begin to touch the constant bills that she and her current husband get from the children's hospital that treats her daughter. Their bills as of November, 2006 were in the neighborhood of $50,000.00 and skyrocketing. The mom told me she doesn't even dare think about the bills until she knows for sure the final outcome for her daughter, and that the mom is doing good to pay as she goes along, but that she also might have to file bankruptcy because of the mounting hospital bills. So, I have enough firsthand knowledge of what the costs are. Some have less, some have more. Is it fair or equal? No. And while I care about what happens to them, I also don't care to have my taxes continue to rise, and hospital costs will continue to rise and be passed along to you and I every time we need the hospital or an ER visit.
