When you listen to people from other countries talk about our health care, especially ER visits they'll say we charge $800 for an item you can buy at a drug store for $8. I agree. It's legalized theft. They argue they need qualified people on duty just in case something big happens and that's why it costs so much but that's like saying a restaurant can charge you for people who might come in later in the day. It's a silly argument. Since hospitals are supposed to nonprofit and almost all of them make a profit (at least in this area) a few regulations would be very helpful.
