Hospital parking as a profit centre

I had to visit our local hospital late last night, and parked for two hours in the almost-empty parking garage adjacent to the Emergency entrance. When I checked out, I discovered that parking at the hospital is roughly four times as expensive as parking in downtown Toronto during the week: $13.50. Unless I'm hallucinating, the last time I parked there a few years ago, the parking was more like $2 per hour. I guess the hospital has figured out that when you're bringing someone in to the Emergency entrance, you don't really have a choice about where you park your vehicle . . .
