So that gives the hospital the right to charge somebody 25 bucks for an aspirin? This is the best and i love this. if you had to pay a doctors or hospital bill out of pocket they would charge 40% to 50% more Then that of a bill sent to someones health care provider. and this is a known fact and i have seen many of my hospital/doctors bills when i having issues with my back. and the difference was amazing at what i would have had to pay if i didn't have insurance.

So tell me how is this fair?

That is business. You complain about paying $25 for Aspirin when we will go to the bar and pay $4 a beer. $100+ for Jordins. Only when it is something you don't want to pay for is there a problem with the system...

Bottom line, the governmant cannot step in and tell us how to run business. If they keep stepping in, eventually they will run everything. Once they start, it just snow balls.
