The prices would not have to be that high except the money is no good. The buying power of the dollar in the domestic market has been eroded by the government to undermine the middleclass. PS - a major surgery costs $100,000 or more depending on how good your insurance is. It costs $10K to have a kid if you stay in the hospital more than one night.

Why are prices so high these days? Especially medical prices? It would cost a thousand bucks for an important surgery. It's like, "What the heck? I'm dying here!" There's a salon in my area where they charge $100 bucks for a full-body waxing. Is a simple removal of hairs worth THAT much? I could give ALL examples, but that would take, like, 5 questions (each question is limited to 5,000 characters). Why is money so overrated? Is this for CRUCIAL NEED of money for the government, or is this out of pure greed???
