Curses or Cures: State Regulations, Hospital Creditors, and the ARM Industry

Overview With less than a year until the 2008 presidential election, polls show that healthcare has become the most pressing domestic concern for many Americans. Consumers' rising out-of-pocket healthcare expenses and the more than 40 million uninsured citizens in the United States almost certainly have contributed to predictions that for-profit hospitals' bad debt expense could grow to $12.5 billion in 2007.
