This is ignorance in itself. $10/pill for ibuprofen when its $4.50 for a bottle of 50 at your local pharmacy store? Please explain that system for the ignorant then.


It's ridiculous to look at the $10 charge for an ibuprofen when you have no idea of how the hospital's contract with your insurance is set up. They could charge $10B for the pill and your insurance may still be paying a simple per diem rate for your stay.
