Hospitals should stop charging exorbitant rates! Like
$5000 per hour for MRI? *$2200 per day for ICU?
Like $1000 per ambulance trip of 25 miles one way?
Or charging by the pill and not the dosage of it?
And $22,000 for a pacemaker (still in the package)?
Costs need to come down no matter who pays.

Yes indeed. I was charged $75,000 for 4 days in a room with a heart
monitor, 2 IVs, 4 pills and crappy food. Oh..and (2) 2 minute visits
from a doctor.

How could they do this? *Because it was in Intensive Care ward. *I saw
people twice a day when they fed me, and I wandered all over the
hospital trying to find stuff to read.

**** yes..$75 THOUSAND dollars for 4 days at Motel 6
