And that's the wheel that always wiggles, jiggles, and squeaks.

I wish this weren't true, but this is the reason folks in the United States are scared to go to the Doctor.

The Insurance companies also play: Sign up for them, Then they drop covered prescriptions. Its all a scam.

The pricing is such a joke. If you go in you can't get accurate pricing estimates so your stuck with what they bill you for. In that case you're an a-la-carte customer. Try to get "insurance rates", tough luck.

I had a tumor removed from my cheek couple years ago. When I got the bill for surgery it totaled, just for the surgery, almost $29k. Down at the bottom they knocked off 84%. Really? Does anyone believe that the hospital actually does that kind of volume with my underwriter to warrant that type of discount? One can bet that no one has ever paid anything close to that for the same surgery.

Surprise billing should be illegal

What I find very unfunny about this is so many states have all kinds of statutes about truth in advertising and pricing. Yet when it comes to the Medical Industry they apparently get a pass.

When I was in the Hospital some three years ago for diabeties I asked when I would be able to go home? Doctor said "You still way to sick to think about going home". I then told the doctor that I had no insurance. I was released later that day around 4pm.

No joke.
