See, whenever I say US hospital bills are overpriced to someone in real life, all I get is denial. It's ridiculous and annoying.

"Well, they have to pay for the upkeep of the machines."

What, do the machines break every day? Do they have to insert a $100 bill into the machine just to get it to activate? Are the machines employees too?

I know there's a lot of stuff to pay for and a lot of staff to pay, but surely they could still stand to be less expensive. If you want people to go to the hospital when they need help, they need to be able to afford it. There are people afraid to go to the dentist because their income is so low. How do you think they feel about the hospital?
