It is simply the full retail price they can charge and they make that
a ridiculously high number, like that card on a hotel door. Only a
moron actually pays that much
They can charge anything they want. It has no basis in reality. It's a
made up number. Read the article. You've said hotel room door. What
the **** does that have to do with a do or die price?
All prices are a made up number.
Really? So, I guess capitalism is invalid. You know exactly what I'm
talking about.
Cost of buying something for the hospital is say $10. They add
infrastructure of $1. They want to make a profit. So they add $300.
That's completely bull**** right there. Then, they create chargemaster
to legitimize the market up and "negotiate" with people without enough
insurance and drop the cost to $150.
For Medicare, they won't pay more than say $20. Oh what a bummer. The
hospital only made a 200% profit.
Almost forgot: ****
