Man this stuff is SO rampant. When I was on a grand jury several years ago we heard these cases all the time.

My wife put her resignation letter in today at a job with a nursing home because of this stuff. She started getting uncomfortable with what they were trying to get her to do, and told her boss today she's done. She'd rather stay at home and be a mama than partake in any of that sketchy business they got going on. I'm afraid this stuff is much more common that we'd like to believe. The better insurance you got the more likely you're gonna get taken advantage of.

Good call. Lots of people get Federal prison for this stuff.

In my opinion the entire system encourages this type of stuff. Went in for hearing aids ( no I am not that old just half def) with insurance price is 11k out of pocket 5500. Cash price is 6100. Almost seems like there should be set rate like mechanics do for anything that is typical care. Between deductables, negotiated rates, in or out of network etc who knows what's right!!! Rant over

Rampant in healthcare... I had a hospital stint a few months ago, no proper health insurance (medishare type plan only) the amount of bills from different sources within the same hospital is ASTOUNDING (up to 14-15 for a 2 day stay) .. and literally 0 accountability for any of it..nobody in health care can tell you their price before they perform work, and even if they do, it's balanced billed to add more later. Our healthcare system is a riot right now
