        @sarahkliff of course, if it was really like a hospital, you'd have to specifically ask to see the itemized charges at all

        @sarahkliff Only, instead of $27, the bill would be $270. That's after your insurance has paid a portion.

        @sarahkliff @voxdotcom Are you kidding? That bill is awesome. As long as the number at the bottom is the same, I say we make it mandatory.

        @sarahkliff it’s a great (& funny) analogy for hosp charges, but for vast majority of stays the price scheme insurers use is pretty sensible
