Yes, this is insurance companies again, but enormous settlements have helped to create this. Not all huge settlements are frivolous but I do believe some kind of tort reform would help.<br />Pharmaceutical companies charge exorbitant amounts for some prescription drugs.<br />Hospitals - $5,000 and up for one night. Really, does it cost them that much per patient? <br />I believe that the government is too busy focusing on “fixing” the symptoms, instead of addressing the real problem. Make medical care affordable. They could start with the amount universities and med schools charge for tuition and work forward from there.Ms Martyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996078255731307805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066406656636867489.post-9934322622784342852010-03-15T05:24:30.938-08:002010-03-15T05:24:30.938-08:00I think what you did is great.
