I would feel bad if the uninsured were paying five times the insured rate. I just don't know that that's so. I have no experience with that and you have made the assertion but offered no evidence. You are just in denial man. Those are the prices they bill, it's in their computer. Do you think they go back to the uninsured and say "we were just kidding"? Do you think if an uninsured person calls in to bitch they give them the insurance companies 80% discount? Welcome to the world of the US insurance system. You can say "it can't be true because I don't want to believe it" but that doesn't change the facts.
