Tom McGrath, a writer for Philadelphia magazine, took the time to try to figure out why the bill for his young daughter's appendectomy was $29,000. What he found out was how arbitrary medical billing can be, that hospital bills are highly fictional accounts of what a hospital may actually want, need or end up being paid. He tells his story in a long but entertaining article in the May 2008 edition, available online. Enjoy.
