Stop hospitals and doctors from charging whatever they want. Regulate what it should cost, no matter were you are in the US, if you have a broken arm or need your appendix out. Its not right that people get surprise bills that you cant even get an estimate for. Its a bullshit money game between the hospitals and insurance companies to see how much they can get out of you. I tried planning for a surgery that what i believed would be at most around $7k… and just the hospital not including the provider fee was over $12k. This isnt right and should be changed.

You got my vote but as an expert in this field there are a number of issues at play. This is what we call billing arbitrage and should probably be illegal. It is in stocks. In this case the hospital is charging you way more than what the insurer would pay. Have a plan that addresses that. You ill see something here soon. Best wishes.
