Health care is broken in America. It's a corrupt system of overcharging patients in order to receive a small percentage of that bill for insurers. The problem is it only hurts consumers in the end. Post your outrageous hospital bills, rant about how little you were in for or how you can be charged $900 for a bag of salt water.
