$45k?! Are you serious?!
That could wreck a family.

She won't pay a penny of it either, I'm sure. She'll declare bankruptcy and Kaiser will get the shaft. (Not that Kaiser getting the shaft would bother me in the least!  )

^^^ Me too. Won't be crying in my beer for Kaiser on that one.
I'm pretty sure she must have been at Kaiser as a Medi-Cal patient, with six kids, no job, no spouse, and no assets. Which I guess will make it tricky to take any kind of cash payment for her story from tabloids because as soon as she has assets, she'll be expected to help pay that ginormous bill.
I suppose that's why you get *gag* "advisors" to help you with these important business decisions.

My guess would be that the hospital has gotten so much publicity from all of this that they threw her a freebie. Does that happen?

Yes and no. I don't think Kaiser did it it for the PR. She may have been directed to that Kaiser facility because it was the best equipped to handle her particular case. All hospitals have to take a certain number of indigent patients.
I can't really find fault with the staff who provided the care- it's not their job to judge the morality of all this, just to provide the care. They did a great job and I'm sure that other patients will benefit from the teaching/learning aspect of this case...but they are professionals and they deserve to be paid for the services they provide because heck- what a concept- they WORK to care for their own families.

Sounds like that'd be a pretty big freebie.

But... she already HAD a big family. Most people would've been surprised to hear she had six kids already!
