Incredibly ignorant post and mindset.
You pay markup on food at a restaurant too. You are paying for the service.
You have to pay the salary of the person who stocks the saline. You have to pay the salary of the RN who puts the IV in you and administers the saline. You have to pay the salary of the doctor who ordered the saline. You also have to pay the electric bill. You have to pay housekeeping. Et cetera.
Doctors and RN salary is generally higher than server and cook salary, so your markup is higher.
This is an incredibly ignorant post...
Facility fee reimbursements and DRGs factor in those things. Marking saline up $50 has very little to do with labor costs associated with delivering the saline and everything to do with a 3rd party payor system that doesn't force patients to be consumers...like a restaurant menu does...

But billed charges have tenuous connections to the above.
