  And it took like 20 years!!! American Scandal podcast has a great series on it. Fucking criminal bastards.
context: $56B is equal to $1,775 every second for the entire year. >
  
  That's $745,500 in the 7 minutes between your post and this one. >
  
  that almost covers the cost of an ER visit! >
  
  You haven't gotten the bill from the anesthesia group yet, that'll come separate. >
  
  WHY DO THEY DO THIS!?!?!
  you pay $800 for a procedure that requires anesthesia then 3 months later you get another bill for $700 for the anesthesia. >
  
  Because they're crooks. >
  
  Anyway to fight this or make their lives miserable. What if we don’t pay? They coming for my car? >
  
  Your credit can be ruined because somehow those aren’t considered “medical bills” because the anesthesiologist is often considered an independent contractor. >
  
  That seems about right for these crooks. I didn’t know that. >
  
  Never forget what piece of shit Exxon did to the Prince William Sound in Alaska >
  
  Don’t read the litigation section of that Wikipedia article. It’ll fucking enrage you even more! They pissed around the law for years and went from having to pay 5 billion in punitive damages to only 500 
  To put it in common person amounts:
  If you made 60,000/year salary, your fine would have been around $5000 but it was reduced instead to $500 because multiple lawyers argued that you already paid $1000 in civil lawsuits for destroying over 200miles of habitat. 
  What a load of dog shit!
