    [1] Hospital bill are probably overly inflated.

    My dad spent four months at the University of Nevada Las vegas burn unit. He had to have over 60% of the skin on his arms replaced. He had over 30 major surgeries. I don't think it was overinflated. He had major work done to him so he could live.

    [2] Insurance companies are rich.

    They still like to sue patients (as do hospitals) if subrogation fails.

    They most likely worked out something like a 10cents on the
    dollar kind of settlement.

    Be that as it may, the debt was still forgiven in my parents' case.
