Incredible how American hospitals can just copy their business model from Asian tourist scams, and also have it enforced by law. No need to hire triads. An actual infinite money glitch, if you can live with yourself harassing suicidal people.

I haven't heard about the tourist scams. How do those work?

Sorry I was unclear. There are many cases where shady tour guides force (usually Chinese) tourists to buy expensive souvenirs, sometimes under threat. Examples:
