That's stunning! I've only been hospitalized one in my life, last year. I had an emergency appendectomy, no big deal, almost every kid has one. I almost died when the bill came, nearly $15,000. Insanity right well I had insurance so the final cost to me was only $600.00. So I feel lucky but even at that our health care system simply sucks compared to your own or others around the world. Not to get political but how does a "super power" not take better care of its own citizens? Grrrrr!
I'm really surprised at your costs to use your parks. This is how ungrateful I am, I get upset when I have to pay $19.00 a night to sleep on the ground. Now there's more to it than that, bathrooms, water, garbage disposal and up keep to the park itself. I guess the National Forests have spoiled me, no fees to use or camp in. Like I said I'm ungrateful and shouldn't be. It's just I remember as a kid camping was for poor people who couldn't afford to do other things, since camping became more hip, fees increased dramatically. For a country of over weight people and electronically handicapped kids, you would think more would be done to encourage outside activity. Nuts, is this still heavily political? Not my intention. Today I can afford to live in the parks, but those costs still keep me away. I guess it's a psychological hang up. Therapy needed here OR
