I'd like to replace them with those big fat meaty ones like those you see in
a hospital.

Googling, they're pretty expensive at $20 to $40 each!

Lowes has not as good ones for $5 to $7 each:

Just curious if I can get the hospital grade plugs at about the Lowes price?

Any suggestions?

Harbor freight has some decent male and female cord end connectors at a reasonable price, see:

If you absolutely must have hospital grade connectors, you can get the best deal buying them used on eBay.
You don't need hospital grade - which are overpriced - but you DO
need a quakity plug. Hubbell makes good ones (as well as cheap ones)
Leviton too.
