Comment on house rule
nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 12 hours agoIf 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.
