...it's the insurance companies and the entire health care industry from the pharmies to the hospitals to their affiliated doctor's offices screwing us for every dime they can. They are the root of this evil. If LRGH can afford to knock 20% off of every bill paid on the day of service, why can't they just charge less to begin with? Why will they take a UCR of $50 from the insurance company then charge someone without insurance $85 for the same service? If a treatment is worth $50, then charge everyone $50 for it.
