Imagine a new restaurant opens in your neighborhood.

Good food.  Friendly service.  But there’s a catch.

The prices don’t make a lick of sense.  They’re all over the map—but they’re not printed on the menu.  So until the check comes, you won’t have a clue how much you owe.

A salad might set you back fifteen bucks.  Or five hundred.

An iced tea costs just a few of dollars.  But they charge a fortune for every ice cube.  And there’s a separate fee for using the glass.

A side of fries?  Better talk to the kitchen first and have your order “preapproved.”  Otherwise it’ll cost you triple.

With a business model this wacko, that place couldn’t stay open for a single lunch shift.

So why the hell is that how the entire U.S. healthcare system works?

I know I’ve spilled a lot of digital ink on the subject here in “Stop the Insanity.”  Allow me to rant just a little more.
