Megan McArdle: The Great Stock Market Myth

My friend Jason pays for everything in cash. He broke his arm; they initially wanted $20k, and he then talked them down to $16k.

The price for my sinus surgery was $40k.

Hell, when I went to the ER because I had pneumonia, and no insurance, I paid $700.

Where are you finding these prices for surgery - Tijuana?

You do realize that Washington is one of the cheapest states, right?

Is it? Well I guess I know where I'm getting my elective surgeries from now on.
