Holy Cow. So I got my bill back from my hernia surgery and I was scared to open it. Being self employed I wonder what am I really getting for my buck anyway w/ my independent Health Insurance. So I open the bill and I don't understand that charges at all and am amazed at the prices of things at a hospital and how it could possibly cost as much as they say. The hour in the surgery room was $4500. Just to breath the clean air. One of the few things I recognized on the bill was a "Pack of Ice" for $20. $20 for a pack of ice. HOLY CRAPOLA. Let me know these things before I come in so I can go to Circle K before I come in for the surger and pick up a .99 cent bag. Now I am sure it has to be sterile but ok it probably doesn't cost them more than one dollar. That is a 2000% markup. I am in the wrong industy.
