I went to Hospital last night (Pissed-off Rant)
Advertisements [?]
Working out in the yard last evening....Cut little finger fairly bad...needed stitches.

That's the intro....
So I thought, well, better go get some stiches...so went to hospital.
They were nice and I received 5 stitches...was in there ...oh..about 1/2 hour.
I have insurance but have to pay 300 deductible for Emergency visit...Ok.

Fuck!..I called hospital today and asked about bill...Just Curious..

$4,748.76 Jesus Christ...they spent about 20 minutes on my finger.. (Did the stitches in around 8-10 minutes).

I mean..I don't have to pay but 300 bucks but how in the Holy Hell is some poor family going to pay that kind of ridiculous price?
By Poor...I mean, with no health insurance.

Son-of-a-bitch...When the Hell is this Country going to come into the 20th century or even the 21st century and have health insurance for all.

I STILL can't believe the $%^%#$ bill was the price of a Decent used car...for 20 Minutes!.. AAAGGGGHH!!
