I don't blame a Dr for trying to charge 7x the actual value of their time if 6/7 people don't pay them at all (the case in ERs). They're employing the same practice as insurance companies. But when a Dr does it he's a scam artist?
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoYes. If the price was 1/7th, people would pay. $70 for ibuprofen is still a huge ripoff, but they would pay it. No one will pay $700.
- Aeolun 7y agoI don’t think this is true. 4/7 people wouldn’t pay regardless. 2/7 might, and that last one was paying anyway because insurance covered everything.
