From the data provided, it is quite obvious that older patients are signficantly overcharged for treatment. The other elective admits had significantly lower prices by about $20,000. This shows how the health care system seeks to exploit the older individuals. This may also be caused by underlying health conditions.
Additionally it seems that for patients who come in for emergencies, doctors just give them whatever medication they feel like at the moment as all medications issued for this group are completely different.
Lastly, most people come in electively. This means that cancer will most likely not hospitalize you until it is too late.
