3. This is a crime

Millions of people suffer at the hands of the industry while a few get absurdly rich stealing every-fucking-thing and no one cares.
I took my nieghbor to the doctor a few weeks ago. She had some x rays, a consultation with one dr, a consultation with a second doctor[the surgeon] and a shot to relieve the stress in her bursa sac.
They billed medicare 1500 dollars. Now the shot costed 73 dollars. The xrays were like 150.

You would say that is a bit much.Fine. Because yesterday she received another bill for the same visit and that bill is for 11,000 dollars.

Is it a mistakes? Did they send her someone else's bill by mistake? She called them and they didnt seem alarmed at all. She is an old woman. But I was with her. I was with her in the office throughout the whole affair.

The hospitals are stealing from us. The insurance companies are thieves. The doctors are even in on the scam.

When did doctors become millioniares?
