    - Because if they just charged the first rate then insurance would demand half off THAT. -- nm - Ender Jun 28, 19:44 1
      - insurance co's negotiate a pay scale, the itemized rack rates are so when the bill collectors force you into bankruptcy they can settle for half and - zeitgeist Jun 28, 19:58
