For starters, how 'bout the fact that this place

but it is worth it if I get the best treatment.

American health care    is not the best in the world.

But despite that, we spend more per person annually

on health care than any  other developed nation.

is that American hospitals   overcharge patients massively.

The problem starts    with something called

The Chargemaster is a secret   document full of insane prices

that hospitals use to charge us whatever they want.

Let's go on a trip through the history of medical billing.

and add a little on top to make a profit.

But after the rise  of insurance companies,

hospital billing got complicated, in part because

these gigantic corporations demanded gigantic discounts.

Chargemaster prices    if you go out-of-network.

The hospital you go to, the equipment used to treat you.
