We need to redo the entire medical cost system. There is no reason for hospital to charge $65 for a pill of Tylenol, or a covid test costs 6K. Can’t blame medical insurance cost when they are being charged as a cash cow. The hospital is robbing Peter to pay for Paul. It’s a messed up system.

https://www.martymd.com/books is a book describing several kinds of price gouging in medical care. It is probably not the only such book.
