U.S. hospitals charge uninsured more, study says - Yahoo! News

U.S. hospitals charge uninsured more, study says - Yahoo! News: "In 2004, the most recent year for which data was available, hospital patients without health insurance and others who pay for medical care out of their own pockets were charged an average 2.57 times more than those with health insurance, according to the study published in the May-June issue of the journal Health Affairs.

That number has been rising steadily since 1984, but has jumped more quickly since 2000, the analysis of government data said."
