Charitable obligations. Both sides declare victory in uninsured billing settlements. Will more systems settle rather than fight it out in court?

Abstract

Some not-for-profits involved in uninsured billing lawsuits have decided to settle the cases rather than pay hefty legal fees to fight in court. But hospitals contend offering discounts to the uninsured won't make much of a difference since most don't pay anyway. Attorney John Phillips, left, says the fact poor people don't have the money to pay is really the impetus behind these lawsuits.
