I sent my own ER bill to this author for her study. Apparently, I made out *great* with a bill just shy of $10K following a bike crash. I received a CT scan and eight stitches at SFGH and that's about it. Insurance paid a bit more than 70 percent of that. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/1/7/18137967/er-bills-zuckerberg-san-francisco-general-hospital …

Yes. This story has exposed what everyone acknowledged tacitly: If you have insurance they're going to aggressively take what they can get to subsidize all the uninsured cases. In my case, 30% of a big number was still a pretty big number. That doesnt' include the dentistry.

how much is attributable to 1) the management/administrative layer in the hospital 2) gradual erosion/cannibalizing of core services by OPEB/other liabilities 3) directly cross-subsidizing the very low-income patient population the hospital serves?
