Hers is an example i have personally experienced. I use a prescribed hand cream that with insurance costs me about $16.00 a tube per month. Last month the pharmaceutical company raise the cost of that cream to $1060. a tube and that is with exactly the same insurance. The system is rigged to fuck you over no matter what. Do i pay the $1060, absolutely not i will just have to go without.
That's the thing ignorant red hats never understood. Obamacare was slowly fixing this issue by setting standaized pricing. If ACA were left to run its course with full state support we would of started seeing a decrease in health care cost..

But oh no.... socialism, liberals black muslim bad..
