Now you and I both know they made a profit on the 2,000 they collected, a nice profit I bet.
So start a company and setup a 300 % + profit margin and see if the government comes after to you.
Well except wall street, but thats cause you buddy is handling the money.
Fixing attempted extortion pricing like that would be helath CARE reform.

health care pricing policy is something I have never understood. health care providers over bill knowing the insurance companies are only going to
reimburse a fraction of the billed amount. when a plumber comes to
fix a plumbing problem and the bill is $200, the home owner isn't able
to pay them only $60......but in the health care business that's the way it works. weird.
