$1,877 to pierce a girls ear. Feels like hospitals just make up costs that are
not at all reflective of the services provided. It is like they don't even try to match services to what it costs to provide them.

Something that can be done for free at the mall, piercing a little girl's ear for her while under, should not cost anything close to that amount.
No wonder medical costs are so high.

Such a transparent process. No wonder healthcare costs are crazy.

Interesting clarification in the article you linked.

Looks like her insurance didn't pay for the other procedure, so they shifted the balance to the piercing
