I used to think the same way

Then as I was trying to get our docs paid, I found out some insurance companies get deep discounts - at least the nationally famous ones do.  Only small, rarely heard-of companies might not get a discount.  But someone with no insurance NEVER gets any discount.  Pretty unfair, that the guy with no insurance has to pay the most, but that's the way this game has been stacked against us by the big insurance corporations and their lobbyists in Washington.
