That seems kinda rude, if you ask me. :-\

I assume just to be cruel. It DID hurt....but I am trying to look past it.
I just got the bill in for my last hospital stay...(well the latest copy I should say) since I don't have insurance the total is all on us...$15,000 give or take a ten... >:( :-\
You know that some places charge you more if you don't have insurance?

I am sorry for it, Injest. I'm sending a lot of positive energy your way.

Oh my gosh, Jess, this seems like a really risky situation. Obviously I know nothing about either your health or your finances, but is there any way around this, even if it's costly? I'm sure you already know this, but one catastrophic illness or accident ...

And the lack of compassion on the part of some people who call themselves Christian just makes me want to hit them. ... :-\
I know it sounds like a cliche and cheap sentimentality, but time and again I ask myself, What would Jesus think of these people? Do they even listen to themselves? What gospel are they hearing on Sundays?
No wonder professed Christians have gotten a bad name in this country. :-\
How can--how dare--some people call themselves Christian and yet be so indifferent to the lack of health care among the poor in this country? And yet they want to claim that the U.S. is a "Christian nation." ...
Sorry, that was a bit O.T., I guess. ... :-\

Thanks broketrash !
You say:
All people do not have the inclination or training to become a surgeon.
........
Broketrash, may I agree with you.
However, those that do want to become a surgeon and can be trained for that, should be able to do so, but that is often not the case !! I noted that the creation of another medical school could have been done sooner, but the government and the elite controlling the quota did not, and, therefore, many persons had no medical doctor and therefore, died before their time; same is happening now in many countries! Why ?
WE steal medical doctos from OTHERS countries, what a shame, since they are need in their own countries! Why do we resist that our own children become medical doctors ??
To me that is one case which renders persons poor ! When one becomes sick and no doctor can be found, then you become poor, because it costs more for that human being and for society too, which we do not think about that... as well as for cos which need help for labour and thought in production design and lines ! Entrepreneurs and cos need workers who are well, not sick persons - no too poor to come to work !!
There is too much of a lack of varied job creations, which makes many areas more and more poor !! For instance, many states in the USA (as well as provinces in Canada) gives billions of $ to Toyota to build cars, which co. does not need that dough! To me, that is a shame. It seems to me, that those public $ should be spent on creating different products, especially inventing new technologies which would be very much varied and not just car parts !! Many different kinds of entrepreneurs need cash to hire persons in order to create different prototypes, in many fields and not just to make cars!! There is a lack of perspective !! Governments give dough to cos that don't need it!!
There are many others such schools which are needed... besides a medical one likely in your area so local school kids would have the chance to be a doctor and be encouraged for that, or to become a plumber, a technician, a painter, a plasterer, an inventor, a TV repair person, etc. ! ! Yes! And also many other different kinds of schools are needed too: like for technologies and vocations, but these are too rare, even if the kids need training !! So, the kids sell dope, as if that is the ONLY way out ?? Society need all sorts of trades, not just a Toyota foreign owned co. !
Shame!
So, now it's Toyota, and Made in China time and no jobs in the USA, Canada, etc., times !! WE all will sell dope and become more poor in order to enrich dope warlords ??
Au revoir,
hugs!!
