And did you notice the cost of the first visit.........$4500? Does that sound like price gouging to you? Probably not but you would scream bloody murder if it happened to you. You idiot. You haven't the slightest idea what procedures were performed on this guy. A simple CT scan with contrast can easily run that much.

What second time? He was hospitalized once again and received two operations. What should a brain tomogram and associated procedures cost in your opinion? Do you think $4500 was too low or too high? Do you want to raise taxes to pay it? Do you want the government to set prices? Should Korea reimburse the United States? Do you want the government to mandate all employers (including when you employ the kid to wash your car) to provide health care insurance? They said Moon’s case reveals that it is urgent to improve the medical system to benefit those people. How would you do it? In my opinion, the first diagnosis was in error which we learned after the fact. No one is perfect. Is is malpractice? Or an unfortunate accident?
