Re: tanya and medical billing

Quick: i had a blood test done today at the doctors. $21.56 total.
that was for the nurse who drew the blood, the needle and 2 vials, the
paperwork, and someone to do whatever lab work they required. they
could have told me $200 and i would have paid it and never known the
difference. thats my point, nobody knows what theyre really paying for
on some of these exobitant medical charges. i think there are tons of
medical providers overcharging just because they can so easily get away
with it, and the great majority of people go along with it because its
the sacred medical industry. how dare we question what they charge.
