Major reason for the huge healthcare costs

Look dude, opinions are like assholes so you and BJ are entitled to yours
but as someone once posted, you guys are not entitled to your own facts.

There's a myriad number of reasons that compound the issues regarding the
costs and access to health care services in this country but HMO's,
defensive medicine, and lawsuits are not a major player in the total costs.
And the average ER visit in my healthcare system and state is signifcantly
less than a grand and the effing quality is pretty damn good, not perfect
everywhere but much higher than being "ranked" #37.

Now back to your regulary scheduled whatever y'all want to call this.
