    And you thought that your hospital bill was outrageous?

    Thank goodness for the good old British NHS.

    I'm happy to pay our additional tax on everything so I can have "free" health care. I can't even imagine what it's like to pay for a doctor visit, hospital stay or to try managing a chronic illness.      :(

    Sorry about the "bill" reference. I'm sure that yours isn't outrageous!

    Only occasionally.... :)

    Oh, I’ve heard stories…… I went to the doctor today and my insurance was charged $15 for a finger prick, something I do 4 or 5 times daily on my own.  I offered to do it for them but they turned me down.  Hungry I guess……….

    That's disgusting!

    That is truly outrageous.  Insurance is a real moneymaking operation.  I haven't been to the doctor's office for anything this year; just had a 6 month checkup and will be paying for the whole thing, as it is all applied to my "deductible".  Sadly, the day is coming when I'll be costing Anthem a fortune, I'm sure.

    Hopefully, that day will never come!

    I've been in self-destruct mode for nearly two years. My heart is in the right place, but thinking doesn't make it so. Thank you for your kind words! It's up to me...
