Hospital care in America - the $10 cough drop

On Amazon, a bag of 70 Halls Black Cherry Sugar Free Cough Drops costs $3.84. If you want 70 of the exact same cough drops that have been individually repackaged by Safecor Health of Columbus OH, the hospital will charge you $700. Lesson: if you have to go to the hospital, bring your fucking cough drops with you.
