I'll see if I can dig that up somewhere...

You know, I dont know how I'd feel about that. I think its because I see the bill as patently absurd. No one should have to pay that.
What happens if the hospital cant collect and has to write it off of their receivables? I doubt the hospital is going to have to shut up shop.
Although it would set a very grim precedent.
