Isn't it disgustiing? That's why health care coverage is so expensive! Doctors are billing INFLATED prices to these insurance companies -- who, by the way do NOT pay that whole price -- and that drives up the cost of insurance!

There should be a "cap" on what these doctors can charge for procedures of ANY kind! It's absolutely ridiculous! These injections ARE dangerous and they do have to have special equipment to do them, but they are NOT worth THAT PRICE!!! For EACH INJECTION?? Heck no!!!

These doctors are highway robbers! Shame on them.
