12K down to 3.60? Holy crap. I'm glad you won't be in the poor house or any house other than your own.
Rx pricing (and all medical procedures in general) is a Scam. My blood work without insurance would be $1200. With insurance it comes down to $15, and since it is part of the yearly checkup, it is still covered (even though I had the high deductible plan).
Medical industry is mafia. Switzerland for example spends less and has a higher life expectancy.
I think you mean that US Rx pricing (and US medical procedures in general) is a scam. In any other country his cost without insurance would probably have been $100 or so.
