No one is talking about Luigi anymore, but today I got a bill for a routine colonoscopy and the hospital billed my insurance $24,000. I asked how they justify this and they said that the real cost is $250 but the insurance won't pay that unless they bill an astronomical amount.

As a healthcare writer I have so many thoughts on the insurance industry and I'm sorry this is what it took for people to start sharing their stories. We've been putting up with this broken system for too long. What can we do to facilitate real change?
