That nurse appears to have been making around $14k/hr for the HMO where she works. I can corroborate the insane charges for medical services myself. My most recent spine doctor billed insurance $250 for a fabric and velcro back brace which Amazon replaced for me with a better quality model a few months later for $45.
Of course the math ($700 / 3secs x 60 = hourly rate) is alot more complicated than that, but the point remains. Look at any doctor bill. It’s a total scam.
Eighteen months later, the anesthesiologist from my lumbar surgery keeps sending me bills after I referred them to the VA and also gave VA their information myself. They should be paying me for what they put me through! Francie’s Covid test last year set me back $250. It’s just ridiculous.
