Our broken--badly broken--health care system


 
A friend of mine was sick last week, over his holiday vacation.

That stunk for him, of course, poor guy.

He called in to his doctor, to get something for it.

His doctor concurred and prescribed Tamiflu for him.

He got ten pills of this little "wonder drug."

Now, he has health insurance but even with that, do you know what that one little--very little--prescription cost him?

$111.00

One hundred and eleven dollars for ten pills, even with insurance.

America's health care system.

We're number one.

In cost.
