And hospitals should stop accepting people who can't pay!

Hospitals should stop charging exorbitant rates! Like
$5000 per hour for MRI? *$2200 per day for ICU?
Like $1000 per ambulance trip of 25 miles one way?
Or charging by the pill and not the dosage of it?
And $22,000 for a pacemaker (still in the package)?
Costs need to come down no matter who pays.

Hospitals charge those who can pay.

If the healthcare system is not fixed, fewer and fewer people will be
able to pay and those who can will be charged more.

If you do not support fixing the healthcare system, then you support
the status quo.

Get out your wallet...you will be needing it.
