Title: The $100 Aspirin and the Re-Pricing Scam
Topic: Steerage

Discussed by Dr. Keith Smith
with Surgery Center of Oklahoma

If you have ever had the unpleasant experience of an ER visit, surgery, or hospital stay, you have probably been charged $100 (or MORE!) for an aspirin or other type of “inexpensive” medicine found over-the-counter. The hospital collects $5 and “loses” the other $95.

This process is called “Steerage” and is getting out of control in hospitals nationwide. But it’s not just hospitals who are involved; it’s the insurance company, too!

President Obama says the solution to providing medical insurance to every person in the United States begins with us – the tax-payers. I say it begins with hospitals and the corrupt insurance and pharmaceutical companies!
