RE: Curation Contest - Week 16 of Paying it Forward

in #contest6 years ago


My mother had a surgery on her wrist. Three bones... but required in order to maintain mobility.
$25,000! (About $18,000 was rent on the stupid room!) Medical care in this country may be world-leading, but it kills the working class with the bills.
I had a friend who was dying of cancer last year... $40,000 PER treatment!!!I really feel for @kaliju. (I autovote him anyway.)

Sort:  

$18,000 for the room out of a total of $25,000! Wow!!!
Hope your mother is recuperating well, @vikiing-ventures.

$40,000 PER treatment!!!

Upside down.

Medical care all over most of the world needs a complete overhaul. Can't wait for we Earth people to be ready to finally make it happen. Resources and knowledge are there. Will is not.

Totally with you on that one!
Yes, my mother seems to be well now, it's been a couple of years since then, but they still have bills to pay for that one.

When everyone has "insurance," medical companies can charge whatever they like.
