James Schlieper drove five hours from Central Texas to a surgery center across state lines for his hernia surgery — a procedure his catastrophic insurance doesn't pay for. Hospitals back home quoted him cash prices of over $30,000.
Then he went online and found the Surgery Center of Oklahoma's cash price: just over $3,000.
"It's like [the] a la carte menu at a Mexican restaurant," Schlieper said, laughing. "It's great. What do you want? That's how much it costs."

All these Democrats out here telling you how much they support medical care, prescriptions, ets. What a bunch of liars. All these places are lining the Democrats pockets with $$$ so they can price gouge the consumer. All the Insurance Companies are doing anymore is collect the money, make the deductibles high and the consumer gets NOTHING!!!!
