New Well, if they can put a guy on a bed . . .
. . hook him up to an automatic monitor and wait for him to die at $36,000 per day (which is what happened to my brother), they can certainly claim $1,100 for a visit to ER.

Our health care system makes our financial and mortgage system look relatively sane.
