You can thank everyone trying to sue for malpractice, along with pharmaceutical companies charges 300x what the price of their medicines are actually worth.

And most of them supported the vax and said masks work.
They also called ivermectin horse paste and supported government blocks of medicine that helped.

My parent's neighbor was a surgeon, lived in a great neighborhood best house on the block. Told my dad that his monthly malpractice insurance was more than his mortgage payments.

It’s a product of the hospitals working with the insurance companies. The hospitals know the insurance will only pay a fraction of the “sticker price,” but the sticker price is so high to make people believe they have to have insurance or they will be saddled with crippling debt.
All made legal by our wonderful government. A complete antithesis of the concept of a free market.

Doesn’t matter what they charge. Insurances have allowables based on contracts and the rest is written off. Don’t have insurance, you are either screwed or you negotiate. You took the risk not to have insurance.

Yup I remember when my dad was having an outpatient procedure done in the hospital he commented he was cold. The nurse asked if he wanted a warm blanket and he said yes please. We found out later the hospital charged him $125 to use the warm blanket.

It would be affordable if there was no such thing as health insurance. And there shouldn’t be.
