Paid parking at Providence hospital is probably due

Regarding the recent article (“Paid parking coming to Providence medical’s Everett campuses,” The Herald, April 8), this is probably due. We have used and enjoyed the free parking. I have never seen squatters but can imagine it does happens.

Our only concern is after paying the $6 an hour, will we receive a bill for $736 from our insurance carrier for costs we don’t understand?
