IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING TREATED IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM OR ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL, THERE’S A 1 IN 6 CHANCE YOU’LL END UP WITH A “SURPRISE” MEDICAL BILL. THAT’S A KEY FINDING OF A NEW STUDY BY THE NONPARTISAN KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION. THE “SURPRISE” BILL COMES FROM OUT-OF-NETWORK CHARGES, WHICH CAN RUN UP TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE ODDS CAN DEPEND ON WHAT STATE YOU’RE IN. IN TEXAS, A HOSPITAL STAY CAN RESULT IN A SURPRISE BILL 38% OF THE TIME, IN MINNEAPOLIS JUST 3%.
THE MINNESOTA STATE COLLEGE SYSTEM’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS VOTED TO RAISE TUITION BY 3% THIS FALL AS ENROLLMENT DECLINES.

BUT THE SYSTEM RECEIVED ONLY A THIRD OF THAT AMOUNT. SYSTEM LEADERS SAY THEY NEED TO RAISE TUITION TO KEEP UP WITH THE COST OF INFLATION.
