When Lindsey Messinger had to spend the night in Poudre Valley Hospital earlier this year, the last thing she was worried about was the cost - until she saw that cost.
One line item in particular stood out: the UCHealth charge for a pneumonia vaccine a nurse had recommended.
"I thought maybe someone entered that in wrong," Messinger said. "Maybe there's an extra digit that there shouldn't be. Between the vaccine and the administration cost, it was $4,400."
"If you're getting a vaccine, or if you're getting an MRI, it should be the same price. It should be the same price regardless of where you get the service. And so those are some of the solutions that are being debated right now in Congress," said Sophia Tripoli with Families USA.
