My son had rods put into his back to help straighten it some and to stop the curve from increasing. Crazy, we measured his height before and after the surgery and he grew three inches. Anyway, that surgery cost over $100,000.00 and lucky for us, my wife worked for the hospital the doctor and surgery were. Insurance covered 80% of it and the hospital automatically wrote off the other 20%.
Anyway, I think the reason healthcare prices stay so high is because for every person who can't pay, 10 people can. You can take a $100,000.00 loss when you've made a $1,000,000.00 and use that $100,000.00 as a tax write off?
Maybe Matt can answer this better but why lower prices if you will not make as much by doing so even if there are those who can not pay?
