Reply to comment by Southern-Score2223 in U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 2 million prices from 33 hospitals in Maryland and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think! (x-posted from r/Maryland) by Dr_Midnight

as shits and giggles i typed it in and did the zip code of the hospital i work at and while i could not find it i found one of the hospitals other location and saw how much they charge out of pocket for it and holy fucking shit.. the out of pocket prices for these things are astronomical and makes you sort of realize how fucked we all are. i assume we are all 9a to 5p or 7p to 7a types.
