A New Jersey teacher said he was charged nearly $9,000 after he showed a cut middle finger to a hospital emergency room aide.
The hospital’s CEO Mark Spektor told the station Hanusz-Rajkowski’s visit cost so much because his insurance carrier United Healthcare refuses to offer fair reimbursement rates.
Why is that legal? Why isn’t it considered Racketeering?
Why can Mr. Spektor buy gas without paying $50/gallon? Why can his wife and kids (if he has them) buy clothes without paying $500 for a pair of jeans? After all, his hospital is robbing everyone who comes in there. Charging him like this is exactly what he did to this teacher, is it not?
Tell me, America, is even $400 appropriate for washing and bandaging a cut? How is that worth more than $50 — maybe?
Tell me, America, why do you think anyone should lift a damned finger to do anything for you, to create a single job, to start a business, to do anything other than spit in your face until you all get off your collective asses and put a stop to this ****, locking up everyone involved in it, forfeiting all of their personal wealth and demanding the return of every single penny that was billed at these outrageous rates?

He hit his finger with a hammer and thought it might need stitches. It didn't.
Blame the hammer.
If he had paid cash after receiving services rendered his bill would have been less then $300, if gone to one of those urgent care centers and paid cash his bill would have been under $200.
I got treatment for a cyst at The Doctor In in Pokomoke City. Paid cash. Visit $120, prescription $20.
