>>95067770Medical bills in America change in price depending on whether a patient has insurance or not, as well as the type of insurance. An uninsured patient would have to pay full price for something, but it's also 10x cheaper (i.e. having insurance and going for a check-up will cost $300 but will be covered whereas an uninsured patient will have their check-up be $30).
It's not so much the medical industry gouging you but them attempting to withdraw money from insurance companies, who will do anything in their power to never pay a cent resulting in this retarded ongoing feud where certain mandatory things cost way more than they really are.
