You are absolutely right. Now take a look at the fellow in the article. If he has a decent job, he can't file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to relieve him of the hospital debt. The new bankruptcy law generally prevents this.
So, the poor SOB is doubly screwed. Once due to a bill that is 3X what is "reasonable" and a second time because, eventually, he will be forced to pay it.
Unbelievable!!
