Also, hospitals need to quit charging $50 for a single aspirin then maybe things would be more affordable
No bullshite, this was in the late 90s, but my dad was in and out of the hospital for the last two years of his life. They would give him Tylenol and charge $35 per Tylenol.
They charge those prices knowing insurance is going to pay for it.
They charge outrageous prices, but the bad thing about it for some people, its not like they can shop around if its an emergency.

the insurance doesn't pay that much per pill. They all negotiate the price of everything.
If gall bladder surgery costs 50k the insurance may have a deal to pay 35k for that procedure. Now medicare on the other hand probably says you will only get 20k. It's all BS and who knows how out of line the charges are.
