Released amid the GOP’s manufactured affordability crisis, the study shows that health care executives at a handful of corporations are setting “high and irrational prices” in every state and charging patients almost three times what Medicare pays for the exact same service.<br />The 15 largest systems charged an average of 282 percent more than the Medicare rate, the study found, resulting in $22 million in profit per hospital per year.  <a href="https://prospect.org/2026/05/08/corporate-hospitals-bilking-americans-gop-destroys-health-care/" rel="nofollow noopener"><span>https://</span><span>prospect.org/2026/05/08/corpor</span><span>ate-hospitals-bilking-americans-gop-destroys-health-care/</span></a>  <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/HealthCare" rel="tag">#<span>HealthCare</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/hospitals" rel="tag">#<span>hospitals</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/medicine" rel="tag">#<span>medicine</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Capitalism" rel="tag">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/MedicareForAll" rel="tag">#<span>MedicareForAll</span></a></p>]]></description><link>https://postcall.pub/topic/a4455283-1568-4fd3-934e-1ade961dd5d1/corporate-hospitals-bilking-americans-as-gop-destroys-health-care-the-largest-corporate-health-care-hospitals-in-the-country-are-consolidating-their-power-and-using-it-to-rip-off-patients-a-new-study-from-families-usa-shows.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 02:30:04 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://postcall.pub/topic/a4455283-1568-4fd3-934e-1ade961dd5d1.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 18:17:53 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl></channel></rss>
