I'm not sure about what most folks here think but a medical bill is one of the hardest to interpret. All the procedures are abbreviated medical jargon. I look at it and scratch my head. Plain language should be a part of any new healthcare plan.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised that I and many others have been overcharged for things in the past due to lack of understanding of the bill.
