Look at it this way ... it's only about half of what the Idiot spends to fire up his big jet and haul off to a fundraising event, or play a round of golf, or enjoy a quiet weekend away from the office with Reggie ...

And the even worse part is that this scenario — indigent illegal immigrants running up huge medical bills paid for by the taxpayer — is being repeated all over the country thanks to President Amnesty and his stooges in both parties in Congress. But don’t worry, America is a rich, wealthy, good-hearted country that should provide free medical care for the whole freakin world.
This must be some sort of hoax. Everybody knows that thanks to obamacare, health care is free.
The hospital knows the only chance at any payment for this patient is the government so they pump up the bill astronomically figuring they’ll settle for a major reduction later and end up getting what they really wanted in the first place.
Sounds racist to me
I read that Mr. Duncan was the only patient in the entire ward.
The real cost may not be not be calculable. My own guess is at least one million. Maybe two or three. Most of us can't afford to contract Ebola.
Good thing I don’t have to pay for that. </sarc>
They are trotting out the costs to preempt the Rev. Jackson.
Who is today saying Duncan received unfair treatment due to his race.
What a coincidence.
nah that’s WAAAY too low, that must just be for the ICU bed
That wont even replace the dialysis machine and vent they hooked him up to which need to be DESTROYED
I’m sure BC/BS can negotiate that down to $4200.00
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
DANG!
