Have you ever wondered what it costs to keep a person alive when they are on the brink of death? Thanks to a post by a suicide survivor who started a rash of posts concerning hospital costs for the mortally challenged we know that the hospital bill for suicide management can be from 10K to 100K. Oliver Jordan clocked up 25,000 likes and hundreds of responses to his post with some people saying it cost them 10K to 20K for a US emergency room visit. Once a patient enters a hospital they can racked many charges often without realising what the end bill will be.
In memory of MDC.

Unless you pay off the local doctors, you won't get any referrals.

We already bought it. It's called the American Medical Establishment. People from the Baby-Boomer generation, ancestry disregarded and many of them in congress, realized that by focusing and legislating the anger of younger disenfranchised generations away into hatred for another scapegoat, could continue to live in fat city at the expense of everybody else by drawing the fire and using their command of the media apparatus as their "bazooka."
It's a technique used by Hitler and many others over the course of time.
