7. I'm happy to read that you're fine
this is sorta' off but for reference here tiz. In '55 my brother had his appendix burst, the cost of the hospital stay, over night, doctor and all the other expensives came to a total of 155 bucks. In '74 I had to go to the emergency room about 1 in the morning because of food poisoning. I spent about 8 hours there had my stomach pumped and was given something for the pain and guess what the total cost of that stay was, 155 bucks too, doctor and all. No insurance in either of these instances. Run away Health care cost is killing America, one patient at a time, just as sure as pulling a gun out and shooting someone.
