Wow.

Last month my father bumped his arm and tore the skin.

It wasn't serious, but he was upset and insisted he needed to see a doctor.  I thought he just needed to put a band-aid on it, but he's 92 years old and has some cognitive issues, so I indulged him.

We went to the clinic, and as I expected they put a band-aid on his arm and assured him that everything would be all right.

Today we got the bill.  His copay was $35, and they billed the insurance company $655.

$655.  To put a band-aid on an arm.

That's bullshit.
