Stung by a Scorpion, Then by a Hospital. This Could Happen to You.

Written by Gary North on September 7, 2012

An Arizona woman was stung by a scoprion. She went to the hospital. It gave her two shots. Then it charged her $39,652.
 
Per shot.
 
In Mexico, the same shot costs $100.
 
Then it charged her extra fees for the visit. Total bill: over $83,000.
 
Conclusion: government-regulated health care is not working for patients. It is working great for hospitals.

Stung twice

I'm not sure I would trust any vaccination in Mexico as being real.

My insurance company usually pays a lot less then what the hosptial trys to bill me and they have to accept the contracted price.

I'm glad I have insurance.

Medicare pays X amount, and that is all. The hospital cannot bill you for more.

The uninsured really get stuck.

The uninsured have to go to the hospital and negotiate for themselves.  I believe all not-for-profit hospitals will negotiate.  I'm not sure about the for-profit ones...but I do know that hospitals hate negative advertising if patients go to the media with their complaints.  :-)   Monopolies in healthcare just don't exist anymore.

Oh there will be a monopoly in health care alright, as soon as 0bamacare goes into full effect.
