Wait, are hospitals taxpayer funded in America? If so, why do they charge my insurance such vast amounts of money for tiny services?
- s73v3r 11y agoSome are, some aren't. Some are run by charities and churches, some by private companies. Many of these, especially ones in smaller, more rural communities, will receive government funds to help provide services.
- zrail 11y agoSome hospitals are taxpayer funded. 2/3 of hospitals in the US are non-profit corporations. The rest are either public (run by the county or state) or are for-profit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_hospital#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_hospital#United_States
