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.


That's ridiculous.

You know 0 about hospital contracting. It's ok. Keep complaining about things you know zero about.
