While technically true, hospital sticker prices actually are extreme because hospitals try to impress insurers with gigantic discounts off a fictitious base price, which no one pays except the unfortunate middle class person who finds themselves in an emergency without adequate health insurance.
- bojangleslover 2y agoThis is critical. I get these "Explanation of Benefits" from United, and they always show some enormous sticker price with a "discount." Something is clearly whack with these discounts. It would be too much credit to call it "financial engineering". Do you know who mostly benefits from these (basically) fraudulent "discounts"?
