It's a system that needs some changes, but also, the bill wasn't for an x-ray and nobody paid $69k.

The first thing wrong with the system is that number. 69k. Even if nobody paid 69k. Who made up that BS number and for what insidious purpose?

It’s the actual price of the service plus the amount that insurance has haggled away.
