So am I to believe that while the hospital billed UHC almost $8000, all they got paid was $107?

No, that's not correct.
I have no clue what you're actually looking at, but the odds are 100,000:1 your characterization is accurate.
Medicare paid their portion and your Insurance may have paid some portion, but you can be assured, if you spent 2 days in the hospital, the hospital was paid at least $5000, probably more.
The hospital never would have kept you there, if they weren't going to be paid for the majority of the bill.
