The fact it's necessary to write such an article already demonstrates how corrupt hospitals are. The whole process seems to be full of intentional pitfalls. If the patient doesn't follow any of the rules (he doesn't know about) either the insurance or the hospital will screw you big time. Or they make some mistakes themselves and screw you that way. And it's always up to the patient to spend time and effort fixing things. I can't find think of any other industry that gets away with this nonsense. It's really hard to believe that the country is not capable of bringing some level of sanity into this.
