I Despise Greedy Insurance Companies

Two US residents who received treatment for coronavirus received bills exceeding three thousand even though they don’t have coronavirus.The patient is non infected but that is the staggering costs for hospital visits and other tests.
It’s a problem for the 27 million Americans without insurance, as well as insured Americans who face surprise billing or out-of-network charges.How come goverment still allow private hospital and heathcare industry to priotise make ridiculous profit margin out of this coronavirus pendemic?could possibly lead to a rise in US bankruptcy cases.

How do you know the hospital has an unreasonable profit margin?

@questionWeaver three thousand dollars for a flu shot and conoravirus test(not treatment) that seem unreasonable charge.
@UsernameAlreadyInUse very few hospitals actually make a profit of significance on ER services ... very likely none do

If hospitals were not forced to, most would eliminate ER services, because they lose so much money on it

Thus, they have to charge rates to recover costs
