The Washington Post released a report detailing the top fifty hospitals in the nation that routinely charge uninsured patients more than ten times the actual cost of treatment.

On the list is National Park Medical Center, part of Capella Healthcare’s network of hospitals. One of Capella’s top investors is GTCR Golder Rauner LLC, Bruce Rauner’s investment firm.

That means that as Governor Rauner proposes deep service cuts to vital service, he’s turning a profit by over-charging uninsured Americans when they have to go to the hospital. That ain’t right.
