Except, I'd have no customers, because insurance, government, and ignorance is keeping people in the hospital paying over 10 times as much.
    What you are referring to isnt even a nursing home.
    There is more to being a hospital than you seem to think.

    Ii think it's more like 20 times. Anyway if health care cost what it should cost, there would be no need for health insurance.

    As long as health insurance exists no one has any real incentive to demand lower prices and so they keep rising. Health insurance should be banned.


    Why does health care for your dog cost so much? Almost no one has pet insurance yet the visits and bill are sky high! The high cost has nothing to do with insurance!

    That is just for the hospital bed - does not include doctor fees. You go to an ordinary motel and for $100 a night you get a private room with TV and cable and microwave. At a hospital you get none of that and yet they charge you 25 times as much!!!

    Nobody expects a liberal posing as a "racist conservative" to understand how government involvement in health care inflates prices. Ban health insurance? What a retard.

    It would also eliminate quality healthcare, many treatments, and the availability of life saving drugs. Move to Europe if you think "single payer" is so grand, leave our healthcare the fuck alone. Leftist loons have done enough damage as it is.
