Waste in the Health Care System - Outrageous Prices

http://www.consumerwarningnetwork.com/2010/03/01/waste-in-the-health-care-sys...
If you're looking to buy a toothbrush, stay far far away from a hospital. Imagine paying $1000 for ONE toothbrush. Perhaps we should call it an oral contaminant removal system, given the hefty price tag, but whatever you call it, it's simply outrageous. And more importantly, it's why American health care costs are skyrocketing. Watch a fantastic report by CNN's Elizabeth Cohen, who exposes more of these ridiculously high charges for simple items on hospital bills.

These inefficiencies are the ones that will bring US down. The health insurance costs skyrocket and the business owners will have a very tough time to afford the health insurance. So, business owners simply move their factories overseas to survive and we keep seeing unemployment rising. After that, we blame other countries for taking our jobs. US govt really need to fix this sector to make US attractive and competitive again so jobs will come back to our beloved country.

Business as usual. The sad part is that the makers of products in other countries get 10 cents per unit, no heath, no insurance, no transportation, no nothing.
