Trauma care can cost upwards to $100,000. If you cannot afford that,then do not go to the hospital, because they will be forced to treat you. Go home and let nature take its course.
If you think juice and coffee enemas will cure cancer, I have a bridge to sell to you.

Yes, it can. But why? What are you paying for? I had massive shoulder surgery when I lived in Seattle. The total bill was only $30k.

And the main problem is that they are “forced” to treat me. They shouldn’t be.

I’m reminded of a small town that privatized the fire department. People could pay a small fee per year or they could opt out, in which case a fire at their house would not be responded to.

So, one day a guy who didn’t pay saw his house catch on fire. The fire department responded, proceeded to water down his neighbor’s (who did pay) homes and watched his house burn to the ground. He asked how they could do such a thing. They said that if they put out his fire, why would anybody pay?

It needs to come to that. You don’t pay, you don’t get the service - and please stop bleeding all over our nice clean tile floor. I’m ok with that. At least it’s MY choice then. And then maybe I’d make a different choice because it would be a LOT cheaper.

They did.

And the doctors were none too pleased. They said it could come back. Yeah, like they don’t say that anytime cancer is cured, by whatever method.

Also, Jesus is the great physician.

Back in the mid-1990’s I was a consultant paying for my own health care insurance. It had a $5,000 deductible and was pretty cheap. It was about $230 a month less than the “full coverage HMO” route.

One day my 15 year old girl broke her arm and we had to take her to a private clinic located in a local strip mall. Very nice place. I figured this is where I was going to be sorry I didn’t go for the HMO.

Total bill: ~$275.

Do the math... ;-)

BTW, I was talking to my daughter about this last year and it turns out it’s on the top of her brain as well. She tells all her friends about it whenever they discuss the health care crisis.
