If you make money off them but save them more money than you costs, it is still towards their benefit. The only problem occurs when you start working with the hospital to create even more arcane bills that you get into immoral territory.

That's exactly the circumstance I outlined previously. This plan has you taking the debts of somebody who cannot afford to pay, reducing them to something above the actual cost, then asking them to pay the higher amount. You are making money from the least able to pay and profiting from a system driving people into bankruptcy. I cannot imagine starting such a company without serious empathy issues.
