My late mother, who suffered a massive stroke in 2005, entered a nearby hospital late on Thursday, April 2lst and was dismissed the following Tuesday morning when she taken to a hospice. So, there was part of a Thursday, all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and part of a Tuesday, April 26th. There was no surgery of any kind, but she was in intensive care from Friday through Sunday. Tell me how her hospital bill could have been over $24,000? Medicare paid all but $900 and I, as executor of her estate, paid that. The TAXPAYERS paid the remainder. I asked the hospital for a printout of the charges, but I couldn't make sense of it.
