From the article, the posted weight limit was 26 tons. A quick google search ("bus weight") shows that buses can easily exceed that limit and the bus on the bridge was a "double" bus.

Maybe the bus wasn't supposed to cross that bridge?

Have the providers buy insurance to cover those rare 10x cases and add that insurance fee to the cost of the procedure.

The patient gets an "out the door" price and those most qualified (doctors and insurance companies) can argue about the actual cost.

Even if the costs ended up exactly the same, the patient would not be stressed by the "surprise" bills and out-of-network nonsense.

This is one of the few annoyances of shopping at Amazon. As a Prime user, I usually don't want to deal with anyone other than Amazon directly.

There's a search filter option to select "Prime eligible" items, but when you select it, the price sorting still seems to include Marketplace vendors. Selecting the "New" search filter does not help.

There's even a search filter for "Seller" that allows you to select only amazon.com, but the price sort is still wrong if this is selected!

(I understand that Amazon probably prefers that we stumble upon the marketplace vendors, but it's frustrating when you can't disable it even temporarily.)
