I can't even imagine what that room will cost after government gets involved.

In the end the only way to stop healthcare costs from going up is to make it a not for profit business. So long as there is money to be made in it, the prices will continue to rise.
What was your dad in the hospital for? About a year and half ago I spent 4 nights in the hospital. I had my own room with its own bathroom and shower and got top notch care. The total bill was $16,000.
