[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 3657383, member: 60631"] As the medical industry advanced into something we could recognize today it was mainly employer paid for. The coal mines and railroad workers got insurance offered to them to make up for lost wages and medical bills. There hasn’t been a system of consumer driven pricing since the late 1800s basically. They charge more than they would if they didn’t know the consumer wasn’t going out of pocket 100%. Even today you can negotiate 50% cuts to your medical bill if you are the uninsured payer. [/QUOTE]
