This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
If anything they specifically avoided the payment issue most of the time. Having a team of 5 specialists just working on a diagnosis for one patient at a time is extremely expensive and most people (even those with some kind of insurance) wouldn't be able to afford this. If anything they glossed over this entirely on the show.
It’s canon that House never handed in any paperwork. So maybe the patients never got charged?
There’s also the explanation that House occasionally saves wealthy people who then donate large sums to the hospital. That might offset the less affluent people.
