the house didn't even vote on particles of impeachment but he resigned anyways, leaving a raft of reformist laws in its wake. the house did impeach clinton but he did survive the trial. while clinton assets presidency lost legitimacy, al gore was a political casualty in 2000 and nearly two decades of simmering republican anger rose again in 2016 against hillary clinton. impeachment is the most serious action taken against a president, and no president, and for that matter, no congress emerges unscathed. the united states navy has launched an investigation after three more sailors aboard the aircraft carrier uss george h.w. bush took their own lives this month. that makes four from one ship this year, and there are many more throughout the navy. jeff pegues reports. >> reporter: according to investigors, on september 19th, 38-year-old james shelton was discovered in his vehicle, dead from an apparent gunshot wound. 19-year-old ethan stuart took his life on the very same day. five days earlier, sailor vincent forline's death was also ruled a suicide.

3:42 am
>> $1500. >> reporter: $1500? >> 1500. >> reporter: that's a multiplier of ten times your first one. >> yes, right. >> reporter: are you surprised by that? >> shocked. >> reporter: medical prices vary greatly, even within the same city. take a look at the cash prices, prices used here as a benchmark for comparison we found in the dallas area when our partner clear health costs surveyed providers. for a lower back mri without contrast, the price goes anywhere from $295 to $5,323. a mammogram screening ranged from $139 to $743. and sometimes they aren't even very far away from each other. at texas health harris methodist hospital, the cost for a cardiovascular stress test is $698. but just a mile away, a three-minute drive at baylor scott & white all saints hospital, the same cardiovascular stress test is priced at $8,217, a difference
3:43 am
of over $7,000. aaron carroll is a professor of pediatrics and health services researcher. >> it's because someone can. if someone is willing to pay it or has to pay it, then someone is likely to charge that amount of money. >> reporter: bay area resident mark webb learned about medical pricing the hard way when his doctor recommended he get a routine colonoscopy, webb called the provider to make sure he knew the maximum bill he'd face. >> they said based on what your doctor ordered it could be three different codes ranging in price from 1300 to $2400. >> reporter: so you were okay with that? >> i was. that seemed fine to me. >> reporter: but when the bills arrived, the surgery center tab alone was $4800. the doctor? $3800. and the pathologist an additional $300. >> if they told me i was going get almost $9,000 in bills, i would have either postponed it a while longer or gone somewhere else for the procedure.
3:44 am
>> reporter: right. you would have shopped around more? >> definitely. >> reporter: just as in dallas, prices vary drastically a few short miles away. at simon med imaging in san francisco, an mri of the upper back costs $550, while four miles away at st. mary's medical center, the price was $5,751. what's the rationale behind the pricing? >> you have to remember that the people who are providing health care are also trying to make money. and so a lot of the rationale is how do we drive revenue, how do we bring in resources so that we can make a profit. >> i think it's very erroneous to suggest hospitals are very profitable. >> reporter: ashley thompson is with the american hospital association. >> each hospital sets its pricing according to its own methodology. >> reporter: so theoretically, they could charge whatever they wanted to for a test, correct? >> what's interesting is that most people look less at what is being charged for a service and really are more interested in
3:45 am
whaty are going to have to pay out of pocket. >> reporter: but there is no rule or regulation that says you as a hospital, you can not charge $10,000 for x? >> there is no rules or regulations that i am aware of. >> reporter: mark webb wound up paying over $4,000 out of pocket for his colonoscopy. of the system he says -- >> it's either unethical or dishonest, i'm not sure which. >> reporter: now baylor, scott & white waved miriam harper's bills through a financial assistance program, but she still owes money to the surgeon and another facility. st. mary's medical center in the san francisco bay area told us the price for its lower back mri in our survey was too high, but would not disclose what it says is the actual price. we posted the hospital's statements on our web page where you can also see the prices we found. go to our website at cbsnews.com/healthcosts. and while you're there, please share your prices with us. tell us what you paid. we want to know. police in new york city
