They have literally no limitations. The reason that an advil at the hospital costs $200 is because they were afraid if they made it cost $20000 people would burn down the hospital.

This is the first comment on the page that has something other than "more government regulation" as a solution. Just sayin'.

Considering how many people have had their lives ruined by absurd hospital bills I'm honestly surprised nobody's shot one up yet.

I guess you can go look for the motivation, most shootings probably isn't financially motivated thought.
