A hospital in Boston is suing a Saudi prince over $3.5 million in unpaid bills for a child with a rare disease

A complaint against His Royal Highness Prince Abdelilah bin Abdelaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Faisal Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and Dr. Hamdy Dawoud, the personal physician and representative for the prince, was filed this week in the federal district court of Massachusetts. It says the defendants owe $3.5 million -- and growing -- in unpaid medical bills for the girl whose care they agreed to sponsor in full.

The situation has left the patient in limbo and the hospital stuck with mounting costs. "As of the filing of this Complaint, the patient continues to receive inpatient care at BCH, even though, as of this date, acute inpatient care is not necessary," the lawsuit says."Although a transfer or discharge to assisted home care is warranted, it is highly unlikely that a rehabilitation facility or home care company will accept this patient without assurance of payment.

Stiffing a hospital ... a friend of Trumps, obviously.

Obama’s White Counsel just got indicted for lying to the FBI. Is the media covering this? HELL NO. Right now CNN has a segment with an owl 🦉 on it! I’m not even kidding...

So we have the Saudi Prince kid in the states not to mention they just killed a US journalist🤔Nevamind

Prince or no prince, payment or no payment, the bigger question that should worry us is how on earth a 17 month stay in hospital could cost this much, almost $8500 every single day. $350/hr when the minimum wages are less than $10/hr. Do we need a prince sponsor to fall sick?

The Prince is a criminal

Why don't we call it Jizya tax and forget it.

Shameful of them! Go after them for lack of respect for your great hospital. I call this stealing.

Is the media complicit in this whole agenda to illegally spy on Americans PLUS the Hillary Campaign paying for Dossiers to influence a national election collusion with a foreign agent pumping out propaganda in the news unverified only to take down a sitting prez-

Isn't it always the people with wheelbarrows full of money...

Based on the NY Times article below, plagiarist Meredith McIver did as much for trump - or more - as Cohen, Hicks, or Weisselberg, and we need to FINALLY hear from her. But if she’s another John Barron, then the entire press is guilty of EPIC malpractice.

The picture looks kinda odd... but I can't put my finger on it.
