Parking should not cost any money at hospitals, amirite?
by Anonymous12 years ago
At the hospital where I work, it's free, as long as you validate your parking with a small ticket you get inside the hospital (to prove you weren't using the parking for something else).

Some hospitals charge $8 an hour. It's ridiculous especially when someone is in the emergency room for a long time.

That's what the parking deck is for.

Insurance and doctor fees are already so expensive. And we can't forget all of the tests that a patient most likely has to pay for.

Yeah but the thing is, then random members of the public would take up space in the hospital parking lot because it's free, so then people who actually needed the hospital wouldn't be able to park there...I agree it should be free for patients though.

Well in Canada, where we have free healthcare, parking fees are one of the main ways that Hospitals make money. That is also why food from hospital cafeterias are so expensive.

Woo Canada!! The food at my hospital is really good though, I had this panini with grilled chicken and roasted veggies last time I was there, so I didn't mind the price :)
