Hospital group recommends discounts for uninsured Chicago Tribune

Wisconsin, has a new approach to the health care crisis. The Wisconsin Hospital Association is asking hospitals to offer discounted rates to uninsured patients. This initiative began when an uninsured patient filed a complaint with one hospital after being charged higher rates than insured patients. The patient took this incident to Wisconsin Attorney General who filed charges against the facility. The Wisconsin Hospital Association is also asking that bills of $100,00, be forgiven for patient making less than $50,000 a year.
