      Nonsense. Greed Is Good.

      Capitalists are constantly telling me that if the Mayo Clinic wasn’t charging $5000 for saline drips, the service simply wouldn’t exist and he’d have died. This is what happens all the time in Communist Countries.

      Besides, $5000 is a small price to pay for your life. If anything, he should have been charged extra. The hospital could have extorted him for five figures, easily, if they’d just twisted the screws a little tighter.

        The real story is the surgeon had a problem with the hospital charging him so little. Only a broken system would miss that he could’ve paid well above $5000.
