In the previous post, someone wisely commented that we must put compassion above economics. This is so true. Here is an example of the absurdity of the medical industry. A medical journal published a study last week showing the disparity in the cost of blood tests at California hospitals. For a simple cholesterol (blood lipid) test, the range was from $10 at one hospital to $10,169 at another. Yes, you read this correctly-- more than ten thousand dollars for one test! What a difference from indigenous values, which emphasize that a caring society should not take advantage of people when they are ill. bmjopen.bmj/content/4/8/e005482.full?sid=5e871b74-9ba4-402a-98cc-7fa57fd40189
