    • Why Tax Credits for Health Insurance Won't Work [view article]
      What do airline passengers and hospital patients have in common? Everyone in the same class gets the same service but what they pay is vastly different. A lab test gets billed for $40.

So what you are billed is probably inversely proportional to what you can pay. Jun 15 01:05 PM
