Im not using that statement as a political statement for or against gun control. I am just saying if you can regulate some things there is a way to regulate others.
There should be no reason why a hospital bills my insurance company 10,000 dollars for a procedure but if I went in to the hospital and said I have no insurance , I will pay with cash what does it cost? Well usually its about 80% difference in cost. Obviously like a credit card there is money that goes towards paying someone to do the paperwork etc... but still . Seems asinine eh?
I had an emergency appendectomy in 2010. The total billing to my insurance was 26k and some change. I had a buddy who had the same thing done with no insurance, same hospital, and he paid 1800 bucks . Doesn't there seem to be something wrong here?

Yeah, it could be done if the politicians were for it but they aren't and what you ended up with was a watered down version of what health care reform was supposed to be.
