Oh my god, i heard that today, a woman testifying to congress that her insurance company said they would help her if she was sterilized. Oh sure we have the best system in the world, right now. Ya right..

With all the talk of health care reform, I thought it might be interesting for folks to post some real-world ridiculous health care cost you have seen on an actual hospital or medical bill.

Example (fictional):

Fifty bucks for two aspirin during my over-night stay in the hospital.

I have heard many exclamations over the years from relatives or friends that have either been in the hospital, or had to under-go certain medical testing procedures.

Here's one real-world example... my mother was sent by her regular physician to a podiatrist. The podiatrist recommended she get some special insoles for her shoes. She ordered them at his request. When she got the bill, the insurance company refused to pay for them, and she was sent a bill for $400 for two insoles.

Later, she found the very similar product in a mail order catalog... for $9.95... and she said the one's she bought from the mail-order company fit her feet much better than the ones specially fit and ordered by the podiatrist.

She has no recompence or way to get her money back for the $400 she spent in the medical system.

Perhaps you have heard of some ridiculous medical bill or story?

Rather than arguing health care issues here (as in current events, etc...) simply tell us your ridiculous health care expense story.



Telephoneman.

Why does that just seem insane to me. Is it because I am almost 60 and it seems high? I could never ever afford that.

We are talking about conservative right winger Hutcherson aren't we? It's no suprise he might like Rush for his own purposes they share some of the same political views. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Hutcherson

In fact many right wing evangelical christians can't stand Obama for obvious reasons. Doesn't say anything About Rush at all to me, just that they share the same views.

I makes me sick to my stomach what this woman did. I can't bare to think about what those kids must have been feeling.

But we are not savages in this country. We are no better than her if we do such disgusting things to her, even if deep inside we think it. And beleive me it already crossed my mind.

which book Winx?

Oh geezuz is that what the utube was about? Obama's pastor? We gonna do the whole Palin campaign over again here? I thought we were discussing Rush? Why do we always end up on Obama.. ugh

Winx he said white mans greed runs a world in need.

Is that racial?

It's ok for our president to say this?

no.. no.. I positively disagree.. she shouldn't be locked away..

she should be dragged to the middle of the street, downtown, with all neighbors, familiy anf friends gathered and television cameras rolling, broadcast to every television in America, made to beg for her life and shot between the eyes.

and I am deadly serious..

I can't comment on something I didn't hear him say.

Oh my Allen Keyes and Rush in the same night. I'll have night mares.

Not wasting my time with youtube... if you want to tell me what it says great, but I dont' have time to wait for the bloody things to load.

I don't judge Rush for quotes, like I said I dont' care about the damn quotes, I do care about the dumba$$ thing he says in on his radio show though.

And if you don't find them offensive as I find calling some black guy self-hating, then oh well.
