Personally, this seems to beg for regulation. I see no issue with demanding and enforcing payment for services rendered. However, to force an individual to pay three or four times what the hospital would accept from the typical insurance carrier is just wrong.
Is this Dan Rather speaking? What's his source for this comment? Are we to believe whatever Dubious Dan says? With his track record, I would be skeptical that he even talked with anyone about facts on this. This has the stench of sensationalism hanging over it.
