Well of course the hospital billing department is going to tell you that you have to pay the entire bill. What did you expect? Ask to speak to a manager, make a specific counter offer, and threaten to pay $0 if they don't accept. It only takes a few minutes and even if they refuse you won't be any worse off than before. (I agree this is a ridiculous system.)

I've said things like "really? there's nothing you can do about the cost?" but that's a really weak push for it... I just hate kind of being a dick about it (asking for a manager and making a counteroffer makes me feel pretty shitty, but I'll give it a shot).
