Almost as bad as the hospitals.  The past week I saw one news peogram, I
believe it was Dateline, take a hospital to task for charging something
like lebendey-leben thousand percent profit on an 11 cent Tylenol

complain about ripoffs, then complain about the ones where the victim
doesn't have a choice about it.
