So?....Just exactly what is wrong?

A **very** expensive to make and store drug was available to save this woman's life. She was released from the ICU in only 2 days due to the availability of the world's most advanced and highly skilled care. Her insurance is covering the expense. That is why we have insurance. To **insure** against the catastrophic event.

I don't see any thing wrong. In fact, I see everything right about our health care system.

Just because the service receiver does not pay directly but rather everyone pays collectively doesn’t mean the hospital and doctors should hide the costs and inflate the bill.

If your house suffers storm damage and you need a new roof you get the price beforehand. Our healthcare system is a great big scammers delight.

Come now. Two hundred thousand dollars is not exemplary of “everything right about our healthcare system”. LOL!

It’s a crock and everyone knows it. No wonder we are in the shape we’re in if you believe frisk and rob is okay.
