Yeah, ERs are stupid cheap for me too - I went one Friday night recently only because it was a Friday night and I knew it would be 3 days before I could see a doctor. $50 copay (which they made sure to get from me before I left....) which was actually cheaper than if I had gone to the doctor. Crazy logic, IMHO.
My insurance just went to $555 a month with a $5K deductible (odd it's all those 5's) and I don't have a handicap.
But I can't afford NOT to have it.
There are a million different things they can do to fix the current system before they start all this government run crap. There were illegals in GA protesting because they weren't getting "free" dialysis here any more (hospital was going broke) and they were being sent to other hospitals. That's just absurd. If you're here ILLEGALLY you shouldn't have me footing your medical bill.
