Hospitals are now going to follow the path of the credit industry and create a FICA score for patients.
If hospitals really do adopt this then I expect a revolution in the medical industry. either the state govt's step in and say no, or the taxpayer will re-elect congressmen/women that will vote to abolish private medical insurance altogether.
either way, people in chronic pain and sufferers of cancer and genetic disease will be hit the hardest.
