My SIL was treated for free in Germany, while visiting her husband who is a subcontactor for U.S. military.That was about 30 years ago. They are ciming up on 3 years in Germany again. When contract ends, they have 60 days to pack and return home.

My point is I suspect too many middlemen, unnecessary treatments, and other factors play into our rediculous costs.
I too am for Health. I cant afford my copays now so I rarely go to a doctor. Save that money so my kids can go.

Long ago met a family that never saw a doctor. Dad was organist at local church..... no insurance.

Makes me think somewhere our medical i surance has gone awry and costs are artificially high.
