Re: OT:Thank God for Health Insurance

Yup, agreed. And after all, he did not pay for that, did him? It was
the insurance, right? That's why we have insurance! I consider it to be
a low price, given all Chris went through.

I am glad I have insurance too. I have friends uninsured and with
damaged ACL just like me and the cost of the medical procedures is just
too high for them to afford. It would be out of my possibilities if I
was uninsured. Hell, a lot of people around here can't pay for
insurance...

Medicine is a business just like house building. They are in the
business for the profit of it.
