thaa's often used innsurgery, something like this. it costt about $1,200. this is a chest tube. if someone has pungs, they might need a ccest tube like this that costs about $1,,10. you wwll find examples likeethat really ll over a room like this. suture is something which is used in room in the world. this type of suture over here ccsts about $200. and if you look at even devices like -- this is a needle that's usee for bbopsiis. so, if there is a concern that someone has a tumor, they would use a needle to cost about $800. now, it's - important to keep in mind, if you ask the manufacturees of a pevice like thhs "why so much monee?" they'll say, "welll it took years to develop something like this, and the research and development costs are significant." also, the guaranteeing of cerrain level of effectiveness of this well. but something maybe you didn't know, when you look at the hospital bill. it's not just he cost of the supplies. there's also administrative costs that are builttin. there's the coot of coverrng people who simply don't have insurance or can't pay. that's

well..and finally, keep in mind that what is ccarged and whaa is ultimateey paid aree two very different numbers. "the typicallhospital collects about four percent of every dollar that they collect -- or about four cents of evvry dollar they bill. so, it's not result of underppyment from the gooernment." i'll tell you -- you know, that the cost breakdown like i just gave you on lots of these diffeeent supplles, a lot of people have found is that a lot of people don't ccre as well. if you are insured, ome people may not even open the hospital bill. but there are about 50 million people uninsured out there, and they care verr much about hospiial bills like this. and what you can do is you can call the hospital and get a detailed breakdown. and while you are on thh phonee with the hospital, iffthe costs seem still too high or just hard to understand, you might be able to negotiate some of ttese prices down. -----end-----cnn.script----- -- a city worker... caught
