There is no "negotiating", at least in the sense that the word has always been defined.
The prices are fake. They are only there for Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance.
Once the hospital understands that you have none of those...then they will give you the "real" price.
That is exactly what happened to me.
And it is exactly what will never happen again once ObamaCare/Handout To The Insurance Companies is complete.
The more I think about it the more the whole "health care" (which has nothing to do with actual "health care) bill is one of the biggest moves by any industry in history. The insurance companies went from being something that wasn't really needed except for catastrophic care just a couple of decades ago, into being something that EVERYBODY must have and the costs are now through the roof and rising.
