When she cut open that bag I "bought" the blanket.

Did you have a choice? Could you negotiate the price or did she just
open it and you were stuck? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I didn't ask for the blanket and I didn't even want it but it was
given to me and "stuck" on my bill.
I also did not really have standing to argue about it because the
insurance paid (no doubt a lot less than $30).

BTW for those who say the answer is "government medicine" I should
point out this is a government owned and operated hospital with
elected directors
.

So, you didn't have a choice. As I said, you don't care because your
"insruance" paid. So, you're a big part of the problem.

I have been saying all along, insurance is a big part of the problem.
It isolates the patient from the bill.

I can hear the sound of your head each time it hits the wall.

Most people understand the problem but, Urin-ing-in-his-pants doesn't
want to solve the problem, he just wants the issue.

VA? So? At least they can negotiate prices for drugs. Unlike Medicare.

County owned hospital, a virtual monopoly here.
