Shock

When you're taking medication for high blood pressure, it doesn't do your blood pressure any good when you get sent a bill for close to $700 for your doctor visits.  I'm hoping that it's just because they haven't got my insurance info - as I have absolutely no intention of paying that much just for them measuring my blood pressure a couple of times.  The very fact that they billed me that much says plenty about the american healthcare system - for all its flaws, be grateful for having the NHS.
