Increase is result of change by the hospital.
The article is pretty clear: "The increase stemmed from a change in how Riverside handles financial assistance cases for unexpected medical costs, low-income patients, the uninsured or other patients who need help paying their medical bills, said hospital spokesman Pete Glagola. Patients were able to receive partial charity in 2016 as opposed to 2015 when it was all or nothing."
ACA is tangential to this. [Post edited by DanTheFan at 07/16/2017 12:55PM]
