Health Cost - beggers belief
Watching TV news last night.
One of the children taken into hospital ICU with H1N1. The cost just for the hospital and nurses, doesn't include doctors, drugs etc $890,000.

That's about the size of it. Except there's a third list of charges, that we don't get to see. Apparently the charges to government programs are agreed in advance and are even less than the insurance companies pay. But they're top secret, and nobody is allowed to know what they are.

At least he got there. The NHS is letting H1N1 patients die in the streets because Gordon Brown can't approve their treatment fast enough...

I find it very hard to believe that the cost of treating the flu is that high. Somebody's having a laugh giving reporters bad info.
