  • 219 Euro

    From Ward Dossche@2:292/854 to All on Tue Aug 18 10:39:14 2020
    Just mentioning that the bills have come in for my wife's and mine Covid19 hospitalisation of close to 2 weeks...

    After the health care system has had its say, we have to pay 219 Euro for the both of us.

    Some of my American friends got all worked-up over our "socialized medecine" and how bad it is...

    Hello Bj”rn,

    I wonder how those friends feel about the fact that I pay just $1.70 per
    100 for glucometer test strips.

    They *know* that it's their freedom that they pay for. I still haven't figured it out yet, but that's what they've been saying for decades.

    Alas, my freedom seems to cost me just a fraction of what it costs those friends of his. But then again, my government doesn't waste half of our budget on offensive weapons -- we try to keep it down to defensive ditto. Has worked for more than two centuries for Sweden...

    Hello David,

    Covid19 hospitalisation of close to 2 weeks...

    It must be a bugger to receive manageable medical bills.

    I wonder how those friends feel about the fact that I pay just $1.70 per 100
    for glucometer test strips.

    Far too much! Trump has freed the American people from having to pay
    those outlandish prices by getting rid of the postal service. See how
    that works? Can't sell drugs that people can't get. The man is genius,
    I tell you. Pure genius ...
