Health Care Cost

It’s not surprising that the government health care plan is out of the news. The tried and proven method of government doing to us what they want is as simple as wait and they will go away.

But, I had an experience last week that put health care cost up close and personal. I had to rush my wife to the emergency room for severe chest pain. As it turned out, after numerous test, she did not have a heart problem. She has to go to another doctor to find out what the real problem is.

Today, I got the bill from the hospital. Is it possible to have testing that cost nearly $10,000 to find out what was not the problem? Talk about health care cost!

Oh, the people were very nice and they did a good job. Why, one of them even went and got me a chair as I was standing out in the hallway next to the gurney where she waited for several hours.

If I had know then what the bill was going to be, I would have taken that chair home with me.
