I don't have all the answers for our medical system in this country, but when looking at medical charges, you have to consider where the money goes.
 
I work in a hospital lab and I know that there are often complaints about the charges for lab tests.  When the hospital charges you for a procedure, remember that these charges help pay for a lot of people behind the scenes.  For example, the wages of secretaries, janitors, maintenance people, security personnel, accountants, and  administration managers.
 
In lab & radiology, there are very complex instruments that use expensive reagents, lots of electricity, and need maintenance repair contracts.
 
Many people that come to the hospital, don't have insurance so the hospital actually "goes into the red" when they treat them.  I realize that the charges can be overwhelming, but most hospitals and physicians will not cause you grief if you try to pay over a period of time.  I have even had hospitals reduce charges when they realized that I just didn't have the money.
 
A physician's charges might buy him a nice car, but they also have to cover all his office expenses, including nurse and secretary wages, rent, utilities (and insurance).
 
I am not writing this to offend you, but I just wanted you to look at the medical community, even the physicians, with a little more mercy.  They could all benefit from our prayers. Most of them have difficult jobs.
 
By the time I graduated from college, I really disliked my university.  A visiting pastor preached on having unforgiveness against an institution, and I realized that I was guilty.  I know that our medical system is easy to hate, but if the government starts to micro-manage it, the system might become much worse.  
 
I'm looking forward to the time when all the hospitals can shut their doors!  Come Quickly, Lord Jesus.
