The Doctor Will See Your Credit Now

I know things are hard all across the health care spectrum.

I understand that doctors have a hard time chasing patients to pay bills, plus are working against an insurance industry that wants to pay doctors less, and squeeze even more from the insured.

I understand that insurance premiums are rising for workers, (and business owners!) and the medical profession and hospitals, with their own insurance premiums that keep rising, are hurting.

But....this story on MSNBC is sick.

The Grim Reaper

Firstborn is obsessed with death. It started with the odd comment, such as; "Mummy, what happens when you die?" OK, I thought, I was expecting this at some point, what a cute little curious brain she has. So I trotted out all the cosy Heaven stuff and left out all the things that could worry her, such as worms and bones and holes in the ground.

This was topped by her purposely flushing her favourite My Little Pony down the loo.

These things circulated at a rate of knots, in numerous formats and on all kinds of themes, often going global. My favorite was the personal meme. I haven't seen one for a while so I thought I'd start one myself in a (possibly futile) attempt to revive a trend. Indulge me, this one is basically a 'get to know you' questions mechanism for bloggers... And I always was horribly nosy.
