<Well, since I got the itemized bill I'd have to say that, (on this specific issue anyway), you flat out don't know your hat from your nether regions.< Wow!! I got a itemized bill that charged me $1 for a "Cotton Swab" No wonder LIberals are always bitchin about the Wealthy and "income inequality".. They constantly make poor financial decisions that leave them with no money in their pockets. As my Mama always used to tell me... Son, if you don't watch your money... Someone else will.......... And so it goes, PCSTEL

>> Well, since I got the itemized bill I'd have to say that, (on this specific issue anyway), you flat out don't know your hat from your nether regions. If you got a bill for $50 for a single q-tip, it was a mistake that should have been called to the hospital's attention. Perhaps you got charged $50 for a a box of $1 qtips containing 50 ... The point is taken; hospital bills often contain very high charges for what should be very inexpensive items. But it is not a case of price-gouging. It is an anomaly that is created by a billing system that anticipates no one will every pay full price, not unlike the pricing of cars at a dealership.
