Bring out the spread sheets before they've been cooked, something beyond the Cornucopia of "But, they said it on one or another website", something beyond internet legend, something beyond soundbite allegation... The $10.00 aspirin and other greatly inflated goods and services bilking the paying customers, the Indigent Funds and other government programs such as MediCal covering the non payers says you're wrong. Hospitals make bank off the sufferings of their patients who can pay, they'd put highway robbers to shame - and if they do go under... it's because the stockholders underwriting the hospitals picked the wrong management. The general standard is along the line of a radiologist who charges $1500.00 doing $25.00 worth of work interpreting an MRI, can't lose money on the occasional deadbeat with that kind of racket. My local hospital is doing just fine swindling the locals through both exorbitant patient fees and manipulation of the tax base. If they are illegal and arrived here as adults, they need to be thrown out so fricking hard their ears are plowing up pavement in Mexico, but they are not collapsing the health care system - the medical profession and the insurance companies are doing that just fine all by themselves with corporate greed, something like killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Los Angeles county, before the recession, had 24% of the California welfare burden, which in turn had 33% of the national welfare burden. "CalFresh", formerly known as "food stamps", is going full throttle in LA county. The place is chock full of Limousine Liberals who live in isolated, separate, well policed communities on the hill - not among what they "champion" - and most LA county politicians have their heads wrapped somewhere between some form of Marxist utopia and the 1960's counter culture movement. Every time some whacked out, caviar eating LA county based celebrity yammers about (fill in the blank about any issue) I want to throw a brick through the TV. I don't see any of those knucklehead bozos emptying their OWN bank accounts to fix whatever social / local / regional / national / international issues they babble so cluelessly loud about. A couple of years ago County Supervisor Mike Antonovich was freaking out about the insolvency of Los Angeles county, and the Los Angeles City council still believes, as their city is crumbling around them, that there is both a Leprechaun AND a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So, if the tax revenue base, infrastructure, education, and social order is melting down in Los Angeles county, I can believe at least a couple of Los Angeles County hospitals might be going under as well - if they haven't found a new governmental money tit to suck on in the last 8 years.

In order to keep my insurance when I began to receive Social Security, I had to have Medicare which I have to pay for. They told me I'd be saving money. It doesn't work that way. You pay less at this place but have to pay over at this place. It was a joke and they think I can't add.
