| If you're poor like my family is, you can't afford a lot of things, yet they charge a lot of money for prescriptions, and they know they can charge a lot because if your child has a kidney disease you'll pay it, it's WRONG and it is SELFISH. |

| No it isn't. It is called; Charging the same for everybody so nobody is favored. |

| How is it selfish...? Just because, somebody is poor and they broke their leg doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay for it. If that was so all the hospitals would go bankrupt. |

@Military I'm not saying that, I'm saying you don't have to charge hundreds of dollars for a tablet of chemicals. |

| It is not hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it was my family would be bankrupt yet we are living comfortable. |

| Then when you are poor, bankrupt then what? You guys have to realize that the Hospitals have to make money or there would be no hospitals. |

@Military If someone's family is poor and their child will DIE I think you can give them a break, my gosh, have a heart, please. |

| No and no. Nobody deserves a break. You need to understand this is not a fairy tale world. If your kid is dying you have to pay for them to heal if not they will die. |

There is no free lunch. Everything has a cost.
Even if you can't afford the care, if you needed a hospital right away, they will still take you in. |

| Yep. But, you will still have to pay for them. Again most poor people get health care from free health clinics anyways. |

@Military Let's say you're a surgeon and there's a single mother, she's struggling to get by as it is, her child is gravely sick, and as a surgeon you could offer to pay the fee for her, you are a surgeon and you do make a large amount of money. So you're saying you'll tell this mother, to her face, "Welp, sorry, can't pay the fee, guess your child dies, that's just how it is" |

| Also, why not go to non for profit hospital? There are hospitals ran by the Catholic Church financed mostly by charity |

| ^ Exactly. But, if you want the best care you gotta pay for it it isn't rocket science here. |
