    How screwy are health-care prices? One hospital’s list price for knee-replacement surgery was five times what it cost to perform.https://on.wsj.com/2Pq5V0j

        Health care is about caring about people’s health and making it possible and available to everyone. Instead, it has become a system to legally rob people of their livelihood.

        How do you figure that trading services for money is a form of theft?

        Bill for my second knee replacement was $108K in 2014. The outpatient surgery center in San Francisco charged us $85K just for the use of their facility for 4 hours. Aetna ultimately settled for $42K. Either way it was outrageous. #HealthcareRipOff.

        That isn’t the real price as much as it’s the starting point for negotiations

        Medical & Dental services in USA although of good quality are priced absurdly high. Insurance companies only cover up to a cost set by them while actual are 4x their estimates. In all, it is an abuse vs patients. Not fair!

        Just look at what it cost for a normal doctor, dental or vision visit. I have 3 kids and a wife who is a stay home mom and have very good insurance plan with Blue Shield Blue Cross. What I still have to pay out of pocket per month, could easily cover another mortgage payment.

        Very simple solution. Start posting prices upfront. Watch the market bring that into line.
