Hotels used to include parking. No more. That adds 20 to 40 dollars a night on to your bill now.

UCSF not only charges patients for parking when visiting the clinic, they charge the employees who work at the clinic for parking too. Same with Stanford and UCLA, and that includes parking charges for someone being brought into the ER also.

It really is sad as the OP has indicated because the are nickel-and-diming people who are in a very stressful situation

and you can extrapolate from the article that this is going on throughout the country
