Just read a story on NPR (national pharma radio) with the headline: Nothing To Sneeze At: $2,659 Bill To Pluck Doll's Shoe From Girl's Nose. Almost three thousand dollars to use tweezers (excuse me, "forceps") on a child's nose. That's the state of American healthcare. The "Affordable" Care Act is not affordable. Premiums are sky high. Deductibles render the insurance useless. In some areas, there are few doctors who accept the insurance. It should have been called the Accessible Care Act, because it did make insurance more accessible when it removed pre-existing conditions. But emergency and hospital care is outrageously expensive.



So why are flu shots free across the nation? Heck, stores PAY YOU to get a flu shot so they can make their quota, so clearly someone is making money. And it ain't the consumer.
