Hi folks,

I had a minor surgery repair to my abdomen. In Canada it would cost $7,400. Here it cost $36,000. This is crazy out of control!

Yes, absolutely ridiculous.  
What’s even more ridiculous is if you ask for an itemized bill (if you have not already) you will likely see that total cost drop! They like to hide things in your bill but then cannot itemize them.
