She fell and broke her ankle and small bone in her leg, she received treatment with x-ray, cast from a specialist at the grand total of $36. If she would have been a French citizen it would have cost $8. Oh, BTW, she did not wait in a line the RWer's are claiming either. I think we have problem with our health insurance, too much money to cost having nothing to do with health care.
