> If you read the article, the hospital made a mistake, didn’t know she’s an out-of-network patient, so got the insurance wrong.
Surely you understand putting this with nothing else next to it is making excuses for the hospital and implying the patient is in the wrong?
It sure sounds like you took the hospital's side in the dispute. You then didn't offer any clarifying details as to your stance-- instead going "huh-huh--- where did I say that?! where did I say that?!" This doesn't help communication, but it sure does help confrontation and wasting other people's effort in communicating with you.
> It's not like the hospital intentionally hide the price and then charged her with a high price
Actually, this is exactly the practice with chargemasters: no one is able to know the price because the hospital holds the pricing information confidential.
