A Look at Medical Costs
To the spirited debate on medical costs that has emerged in this space, I would offer yet another perspective.
A man I know recently underwent a total hip replacement for both hips. The medical costs totaled $98,000.
Another friend of mine has a Rottweiler that recently had both hips replaced for $6,000.
The human patient still walks with a limp, and the Rottweiler is chasing cats.
Apparently, as Ross might (have said), it’s not that complicated.
