i admire these hospitals that understand the financial problem of the patients and their relatives, especially if they were private institution. i still respect the right of the private institutions/hospitals/doctors to be paid for their services. however, i donot agree in imposing additional burdens if ever the patient or their relatives cannot pay immediately due to financial constraints, moreso adding surcharges on financial assistance like what UST did. maybe i was disillusioned thinking that this institution, being a religious one would be more humane and understanding. hope that lawmakers would also realize this situation and make a bill not to add interest on promisory notes and stop surcharges on financial assistance.
Nov 11, '11 by spongebob6286thats illegal to detained or refused to treat someone just because they cant pay! those patients can sue them, if they are here. but of course u we all know how it works in the PI

Dec 1, '11 by Hidden_Identityhospital settings here in the phils required full payment upon discharge...but now many will benefit this law most especially those less fortunate....in other countries you can sue you for that...
