My point is the cost of every other technology, even cutting
Edge technology, generally goes down every year in every field with the single exception of healthcare.

Here is a quick example of what is wrong in healthcare:

When my second son was born we asked for the itemized bill, even though our "insurance paid for it".

We had asked to spend a little time with or son in the room right after he was born so my wife could feed him before he went to the nursery. They charged us $600 dollars for that. $10 for every minute we were in the room. It was 1:00AM and the place was empty, and no one informed us of the additional cost.

We we're charged $16 per single ibuprofen pill.

The "gift" bag for newborns, which was basically a package of pampers and some formula we didn't want was actually a $150 charge.

We could have easily knocked $1000 dollars off the bill if we just knew what cost what.

These are silly gimmicks, symptoms of a broken system.
