[quote:MarPep:MV8yOTA2NzQyXzUxMjM1MDk1XzU5NTJGQTgy] Most of that gouge was from Big Pharma and the hospital corporation. "Single payer" with those guys still in control will not get any cheaper---it's just mandatory insurance like we have with Obamacare--with ever increasing rates and deductibles, and government goons making more decisions. Regarding snake bite antivenom--it's about $20K/vial(but the hospital paid less than $2K) and most significant snake bites require 20 or so vials--so I would guess that the episode mentioned was not a real bad bite. 30 years ago, the old horse serum antivenom was more on about the $200/vial range including administration. The horse serum antivenom is still used on dogs and costs about $400 vial retail. [/quote]
