I should probably write this up later w/ numbers later, but my two cents: procedures in hospital are inherently expensive due to greater overhead/complexity, unionization, etc. +

I already did. Max out of pocket for individuals is less than their prices for most surgeries. Is that difficult?
That's a non sequitur to anything you were saying before, though maybe not wrong, depending on the surgery — that said, I know people who've been billed at 10x what's listed on their site for specific procedures with a >10% copay. Does that surprise you?

You not getting it is kinda surprising. Who cares what they were billed, of they have insurance there are federal limits to max out of pocket. The hospital could bill you 3 trillion dollars and if the negotiated rate is 150 bucks, that's what is paid. Stupid, but how it works.

Not everyone has a max annual deductible under $5-15k.
