What can be done?  Hospitals can adopt charity care and fair billing practices.  The local government can review contracts with ambulance companies and other healthcare providers to ensure they promote decent billing practices.  The state government can expand access to healthcare programs so more low income Utahns can afford basic care, and pass legislation requiring hospitals to follow fair billing practices.
