The Hospital Said Its Prices Were "Proprietary". This Was His Response... #HospitalBill #comeback

In the words of Marshall Allen, never pay the first bill.

David Silverstein put this principle into practice after his daughter's ER visit resulted in a $12,000 bill.

But, as he shares, he only realized quite how bizarre our healthcare system really is until he saw this situation through his daughter's eyes. They decided to start asking the hospital questions to see what their logic was behind the bill, including a request for a price list, which the hospital denied. Their reason? Their prices are "proprietary information".

David had a perfect response to that, as you'll see in the clip below.
