So, while it might be a racket, it's to the benefit of a private compnay, not the University. Oh, and GERMS rocks! GWU doesn’t own the hospital, much like GU doesn’t own Georgetown Hospital.

There is a common narrative to the experience of many students who have gone through the EMeRG process. They are transported to the hospital, examined by a doctor or nurse for all of a few minutes and then told to sit and wait for the next several hours. Along with a severe hangover, they can expect a bill for the medical services, sometimes upwards of $400. Ultimately, GW gets paid for every person brought to the hospital." Sounds like a racket...
