RANT: Is there a bigger rip off than tv and phone rental in the hospital?

Saint Peter’s Hospital in New Brunswick New jersey charges 450 cents per day for the TV rental. That works out to 135$ per month. The TV ain’t nothing grand. The content provision is poor. Talk about sticking it to some poor people. Phone service is unavailable in the ICU. But, I suspect it will also be 450 cents per day for unlimited incoming and unlimited local outgoing calls. It can’t cost anywhere near that. I wonder how much this all adds to the bottom line of the hospital? For laughs, I think I’ll complain to the BPU. That should be a real waste of time.
