Re: [Freedos-user] IMPORTANT Off Topic -- U.S. Medical Costs!!
Over $49,000 which did not include separate bills by all doctors involved!! I asked that hospital's people why they charge so much. Because we CAN charge so much!! :kalashnikov: -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers. Connect with experts.

No comments on that movie hehe, would form a 100-responses thread. All in all healthcare here in Europe is pretty decent and affordable, despite waiting lists for some stuff and costs/contributions rising quite fast. Yay privatizing things and insurance companies becoming a man-in-the-middle. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Yay privatizing things and insurance companies becoming a man-in-the-middle. Assuming the doctors don't misdiagnose you or use antiquated medical techniques and technology, Europe is great. This is a good time to point out that Obama who supposedly fixed medicine in the USA hasn't fixed anything. Here's a thought, break up the pharmaceuticals so there is more competition and lower prices for medicine. Another thought, give the health care dollars to the states and make the states responsible for administering them. For one thing, many of us don't want: suicide, birth control, or abortion coverage. Yeah, suicide coverage is where national health care is heading. Never mind the morality of doctors killing their patients, suicide is cheaper. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Yeah, suicide coverage is where national health care is heading. Never mind the morality of doctors killing their patients, suicide is cheaper. I suspect that may be part of the reason why the Oath of Hippocrates forbids lethal medicines. Whether you're for or against it, euthanesia should be treated very carefully to avoid even the slightest suggestion of just killing someone because it's cheaper. I'm in the US and Obama's meddling resulted in my insurance costs going way up. Now about too big to fail...
