I recently had surgery, had a toe amputated. My bill from the hospital was $15, if I paid it within the hospital takes 10% off so bill was $13.50. Though it wasn't annotated I believe this was the cost of the cane I requested. I can afford this.

My medications are another story. I have 2 medications that total just under $1000, that is about $100 a vial. I can't afford that.

This is what the repugs want, take away our care and then we will die.
