| 101. No one is saying anything about Health Care being non profit. |

Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 08:13 PM by truedelphi
But health care should not be an industry in which drugs are marked up between 2,000 and 8,200 PERCENT.
Nor should health care be an industry wherein rich people decide that they NEED TO hire an accountant to help them sort through the billing. (Poorer folks have to either devote night and day to sorting through the bills or just head into bankruptcy court.)
I know one family who hired an accountant to help them sift through the bills from the wife's hospital delivery - and lo and behold, the accountant found they were being billed THREE times for their infant's circumcision...
