So a man in Omaha was pulled over by police in a traffic stop. He shot a police officer and then was shot multiple times himself. He had no medical insurance. So the city is paying his bill. But my only question is this - the bill is close to half a million dollars and why is it so high??

If I have insurance and I get shot multiple times, does my insurance company actually pay half a million to the hospital?? Seriously?? This is stupendous...doctors, nurses and surgeons are worthy of their pay, but there is something wrong in this...

@stunnedbygrace The trouble is, with us, I forget and try to 'make sense' out of a now crazy and upside down world.
Everything that is happening seems to be geared toward collapsing the economy,and bring countries to their knees.
It is working...the clock is ticking. :(

Yes, there is something wrong with it, but this is the system within which we live. There is apparently a tremendous amount of medical knowledge available, but there are some incompetent and/or ignorant people administering it, or even worse, treating people who really need help. For this someone is getting rich... but not in the things of God. This is another one of those good reasons to put our trust first in God.
