todays example of how screwed up health care is in this country

[moonshinegnomie]

total bill for a minor procedure. $4800
amount insurance paid $600
my responsibility $0

so basically the actual cost was $600 but the hospital would have tried to screw an uninsured person for 8x that amount

1. Yep!, or written it off as indigent care.

Talk about a great way to decrease the bottom line that they pay taxes on. If you or I did that it would be fraud.
