Hospital overcharging BS

So I’m getting my shoulder scoped and after my presurgery visit they told me to go to their supply office and pick up a shoulder brace, they send me a copy of the bill for it they are charging insurance and the brace is 175.00.
The identical one is on Amazon for 43.00
Fraud

Never get anything from a hospital. Braces, canes, narcotics. Anything

I thought Trump fixed it?

You are paying for the Medicaid patients that they break even on. It's why they charge your insurance $5 for 2 Tylenol.

I don't even want to see my bill. I guess I only owe $3600 of it though.

But health insurance is where the reform was absolutely necessary

On Amazon you don’t also have to pay for 3 illegals to get a brace.

They charge the insurance company the $175, the insurance company will only pay them $50 and they will drop the rest of the charge.

Well 4x $43 is $172. So if the hospital charged him $175, he could literally buy braces for 3 illegals on amazon and still save $3...

You have to subsidize the people that pay nothing

Best system in the world

The lack of price transparency is my biggest issue with the system. It's normally one of a family/individual's largest expenses and it's the only one where we don't know how much it's going to cost until after the service is rendered and you're responsible for payment. People can't make rational decisions about cost because the provider and insurance get together after the fact and figure out how much it's going to cost you.

And hospitals don't make much on Medicare/Medicaid patients. They have to make a profit somewhere because their costs of doing business are constantly increasing. I'm not sure what the solution is but it's definitely a broken system.
