>>> stomachache. I was instantly deluged with medical high technology and helpful doctors and nurses. My insurance paid the $6,000 bill without a murmur.<<<<< I think there is something seriously wrong with this. Why should a stomachache cost $6000? 6K is a lot of money, more than 1/10 of the annual income for most families. Why should an hour long encounter with those "helpful doctors and nurses" cost an equivalent of 5-6 weeks worth of a families' income? The argument that most people do not pay the full amount is not a good one. If only honest people pay their bills, how does this justify predatory pricing?
