F Minus by Tony Carrillo for May 20, 2019

Excuse me?!

Well, she has to charge the ones who can pay more to cover the ones who can’t pay anything. I’m assuming.

Unfortunately, it’s a pre-existing knee.

Charge it to the dust and let the rain settle it.

Mom’s daily 81mg aspirin in nursing home; $16/month.

Gotta say, last time I went to hospital it cost me $80.

Because I misread a sign and got a parking fine.

Single payer rocks.

Gotta teach ‘em early about what happens if you don’t get a referral and go to an out-of-network school nurse.

Nurse must have a car or rent payment due.

I’m getting the distinct impression Tony may have had some recent bad experiences with his healthcare system.

Wonder what’s the fee for her to kiss his boo boo and make it better?

Must be some third world uncivilized sh!thole country that does not have national health.

It’s called the “free market” kid.

At least the kid was covered by some of the best private health insurance available.

If school’s had a Charge Master. If you don’t know what a C/M is, look it up – it’s the most evil part of American health care.

Better get used to it, Kid.

No no no! School nurses can’t charge you!

Not to worry that “Something Wonderful” Trumpcare will solve all this.

How much for just one cube?

Yes, but it’s the best baggie of ice in the world!

Send the bill to POTUS.

But then, all the R&D and production of ice has to be paid for!

I had hip replacement surgery and was in the hospital for just one night. The before-insurance hospital bill—just the hospital, not counting the doctor, anesthesiologist, etc.—was $146000.00How can they get away with that???

HMO?

Oh look, and the nurse is a female while every doctor you draw is male. As a female doctor who is daily mistaken for a nurse I’m so tired of how people think of doctors as male and nurses as female.
