Monopoly money isn't real money. You know what else isn't real money? How your medical costs are calculated.

8. We had an emergency room visit lately and we just got the bill...

…they ran some blood tests. Each test had a price . Ex: $2,200, but the insurance says that test should only be $300. The hospital takes it. The difference just disappears.

It’s like car sticker prices of yesteryear, no one pays the sticker price.

What if we didn’t have insurance, but we had to pay out of pocket? Would we have to pay the $2,200 or the $300? In the emergency room, we don’t have time to negotiate prices before each procedure.
