Oh boy ... what I could do with that kind of money:

2008 Malibu Hybrid


3 weeks in Fiji Beach Resort & Spa


Buy a Summer Cottage in Upper Peninsula Michigan


Sponsor 65 children for one year


or

Get my fricken gallbladder removed, yeah ... I got the bill.

*I g00gled for the photos and by chance, the Malibu pic is in front of the Mill Street Brewery in my town.

I can relate to Fred Sanford

Remember when I went to ER thinking I was having a heart attack?

Remember after 8 hours of EKG, x-rays, blood work, monitoring and tests, they decided I didn't have any heart problem? And that they didn't know what the pain was, but gave me a shot, waited until the pain was gone then released me?

I got my hospital, attending physician, and lab bill.

$3,575.92

(why don't they just round it up to $3,576.00)

The first thing I though of:

I think we need some serious health insurance reform in this country.
