After the post the other day , this is the price I have to pay for 2 visits to the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, about 10 to 12 X-rays, a CT scan, two nights in hospital (so far) and all the drugs

Glad to not live in the ‘land of the free’

    I haven’t lived in America for over a decade and I’m still reluctant to go into a hospital for any reason for fear of costs alone.

      Same. Healthcare-insecurity (and the attendant cognitive dissonance) is why I left America and came home, and it (and trump-eters) is why I don’t even want to visit .

      Beautiful country, too.
