[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1288585, member: 19397"] What really gets me going is the astronomical cost of medical care, which is dictated by insurance companies. The reason being is that A) they will only pay a certain percentage so prices are high so facilites actually get close to the money they need and B) it really hurts the uninsured b/c the insurance companies have gotten legislation passed that makes it so facilities may not give a break to those uninsured. Here's an example: I had some bloodwork done, got the bill. Cost was $38, my insurance company paid $25 or 65% of the bill. They have told said facility "That's what you get paid, take it or leave it." An unisured person comes in and gets a 10% discount, which would amount to them paying $34.20 for the same services. YET! the insurance company has made it illegal for said company to charge less for the uninsured b/c that would hurt them! About the SNAP program. I'm pretty urinated off that they can use it for candy. WalGreen's puts a little sign RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL THE D-A-M-N CANDY ADVERTISING THAT!!!!! [/QUOTE]
