    Matamoros Mexico the CT scans were 99.99 $ several years ago. Prices might have gone up. They gave you a CD of the scan to take to a physician of your choice.

    Trump et al CANNOT fix US healthcare. The US population is sick sick sick. There is only one way out. Everyone must take responsibility for his health and nutrition. They can build hospitals and homes and assisted living facilities till the cows come home and it won't be enough. We are in a population health meltdown. Diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, autism, disabilities, cancer are exploding higher - it is an epidemic. I place the blame on nutritional empty and and dead GMO foods, pesticides and hormones, processed foods with neurotoxic excitogens, neurotoxic artificial sweeteners, statin drugs (toxic toxic toxic worthless) and pharmaceuticals in general, and many others. All the food is severely mineral deficient because the farmland is universally depleted and dead. Then, there is pollution, Chemtrails, fluoridated and chlorinated water, pasteurized dairy (i.e. dead, killed, nutritionally garbage). Every American is severely mineral deficient. Without the trace minerals, lifespan is shortened and rampant disease is a guarantee. I do not exaggerate. We are truly screwed. Ponce was right: many will die.

    He doesn't have to fix healthcare, he just has to make you and millions of Americans believe he has.

    Non profit which is rare now is best, any venture that has stockholders, in many ways are evil. because internal prices will have to go up. All to supply the stockholders with a dividend.

    Today health is a cash cow, ever notice how most big hospitals are getting bigger? One answer is more people that they serve.

    Our medical system is over priced by far, past the insanity levels, beyond what local needs. Slap high prices on everything, take part of that for profits for the stockholders. Buy out all that are computation with their system.

    I could go on and on.

    Our drug company's are a fine example..they say research cost sets the price.

    Well yes but also in the long run pure greed to the point that they will bury any compilation for generic analogs, if not the exact formulation.
