Medical Bills and Insurance Companies

Forgive my rant, however, I've had just about enough of the medical profession, insurance companies, and the process that they make you go through in order to resolve paying for visits. Hospitals and doctors overcharge us to fight through insurance companies and those that don't have insurance to see exactly how much we that do have a few bucks will pay for their services. I understand capitalism, I understand the training, facilities, and requirements of doctors, but $2400 for an ER trip that consisted of an x-ray and 45 total minutes is a little much for me to handle. Never mind the ridiculous process that you ultimately get stuck in between the insurance companies and the hospitals. This whole thing sucks and there has to be a better way.
