Just exactly where does the guvment subsidy come from? Does the Fed write a check? I hope you don't think Medicaid and Medicare pay enough to cover the overhead and free care. Every billing center has to adjust its charges to try to cover costs of the guvment patients. Example: MRI. Billed at $1,600, Medicaid pays $200, Medicare pays $450, Blue Cross $650, Xyz Insurance $750. Freeloader $000.
Cost for MRI is $ 500. As you can see, the insurance companies have to make up the losses by guvment payers. To my knowledge the only direct subsidy to a.hospital comes from local guvment, not the Feds.
