We have the "medical freight gravy-train" in this country, with the ruthless pharmaceutical megacorps and corporate driven HMOs at the controls. Nice, profitable set-up all around for those in the engineers' seat...A friend was diagnosed with a rare and terminal lymph cancer last week. He's going to die from this, but the doctors will try to make his remaining days as "comfortable" as possible. Meanwhile, coincidently (?), his medical deductable through his respectable, blue collar employer just happened to increase $1,500 per year. Per office visit goes from $35 to $115, except he needs to see a specialist every week, so each visit is $135.00. Of course his prescriptions have tripled too...
Hard working, good people who really can't afford this in ANY conceivable fashion, let alone financially. The world can be so harsh and cruel on so many levels...
I don't think their insurance even covers counseling.
