That's how it works in the pharmacy industry. Something that you go get a prescription for that will cost you $100 if you pay out of your pocket, cost the insurance companies maybe $30. They try to slip in the higher prices on people with co-pay as well. Meaning the insurance company will pay much less than what your co-pay will show meanwhile you are still getting hosed at the inflated price.
The health care/insurance industry in this country is an absolute scam.

As much as i understand, it seems to be a cartel that is pimping the docs and keeps the price of health care as high as possible, while cutting the costs left and right on those that are too expensive to maintain
