The Hospitals write off the bills that way, because it becomes a tax deduction for them at a loss. It is commonly done in the business world, they write off the loss at the retail price that's why you'll see crazy prices that's charged to insurance companies, Hospitals also are required by law to take care of all emergency rooms people that are Indigent that cannot pay the bill, they'll bill them knowing many will not even attempt to pay.
No, the hospitals will submit a Medicaid claim to the Welfare Office, hoping that the people are low-income and can qualify... then the State is stuck paying the bill and for all their ongoing medical care.
