12. I wouldn't blame Medicare for this though...it's the Reimbursements that Med/Pharma are

pushing into the insurance industry which is in collaberation with it all. Medicare is better monitored than the rest of Private Insurance...but whatever your insurance is when you get your Hospital Bill for $40. for an Aspirin on your printed bill at sign out...you gotta know that this is corruption at the highest. Particularly since you didn't request or take an aspirin but it was listed on your bill. You are checking out after surgery and you just want to get the "hell outta there" so you aren't going to cause a big stink if your insurance pays for it... (but your insurance NEVER pays for ALL OF IT) so somewhere in your Co-Pay...you will be paying for a part of that $40. Aspirin you never took but SOMEONE put on your bill.

Personal Experience with this issue... just saying.
