Well, I don't know if I'm for the healthcare legislation (10,000 pages) but there's something seriously wrong with present healthcare. Recently, one student pummeled another student with a baseball bat while they were in the college dormitory room. The student (already dead) was taken by paramedics to local emergency room where staff tried 5 mins to revive him. The hospital billed the parents $29,000.00 for "sevices." Their son was five minutes in emergency room and parents get a bill for $29,000.00? People are just shaking their head over this one. Some of the costs are just ridiculous. We've all heard of the $50.00 aspirin, etc.
