some type of national insurance plan is necessary hopefully we have excellent controls.. however, i doubt it. ma. has studied setting up clinics and giving free medical insurance. i believe i posted the article a month or so . it has provided data that free medical to uninsured has cut costs. rather than go to hospital emergency ward they are required to go to clinics. overhead much cheaper and they also provide preventive medicine.

i got a flu shot on Monday and was shocked to have them tell me $90. when local grocery stores are charging $25/35 and centers are free. talk about price gouging. i reported it to local tv station and attorney general office. i hope they hang the analyst who came up with $90. fee for a flu shot.

ps i wasn't told the cost until after i got the shot. g
