They mark this crap up because they can. When you are sick are you going to shop around? Everyone involved is making a ton of money so no one wants the party to stop.

The more I see the more I like Canada's system.
My dad spent most of the last 25 years living in Canada. On the way home from receiving his cancer diagnoses he said, "thank God I'm not in Canada". I thank God he has excellent insurance.
