[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1292842, member: 8265"] First off, why are people not asking in advance what the cost will be? Should be able to give a rough estimate at least. Then you can say no if you don't like it. Why is someone a crook for charging what someone is willing to pay. Should we have government set a fair price? Didn't work too well in the Soviet Union, but many want to go back to that. There are those that think cattle prices are too high also, and cattlemen are crooks. Guess we should sell for less, right? I mean, consumers have the right to cheap beef, don't they? Last summer, someone posted on craigslist saying farmers were charging too much for hay. I figured if they didn't like the price, they could make their own hay, or get rid of their animals. Having animals is not mandatory. Likewise, if one doesn't like what vets charge, they are free to do the work themselves, or put a bullet in their cow. Bullets are cheap, if that's what you want. Fascinates me that people complain more about vet fees that are fraction of what human healthcare charges for the same thing. My wife went in for a few tests for 1.5 hours. Never saw a doctor, just a few technicians. Bill was $1500. $1,000 per hour without a doctor. Now it was our fault for not asking in advance what the fees were, though human hospitals often can't tell you with all the red tape. We've learned to be more careful and do research. Often tests are unnecessary as were the ones I mentioned. [/QUOTE]
