That's because those of us who CAN pay (via personal funds and/or health insurance) are paying the bills for those who can't/won't pay. I was reading an article the other day that said 68% of people seen in the hospital and doctor's office don't have a way to pay for the bill. Ergo, the providers have to raise the rates to those who CAN pay, which is mostly insurance companies. When the costs to the insurance companies goes up, then our rates go up.
