That is true. One of my mother's friends thought Wal Mart might be the anti christ. She died with cancer a few months ago.

It sure does Jinnye. We are having the same thing happen with our Medical system. One hospital has bought up all of the surrounding medical offices and hospitals so now everything is Carilion. Office calls have gone from $45.00 up to $115.00 and they wonder why insurance is so high. Our medical; insurance which is Humanna Care was free but starting the first of the year they begin charging $18.00 which is a bargain. covers drugs, doctors,hospital and a bunch of other things. What I like about it is if I have an exray and they charge $115 Humanna offers them $45 with a note that that is the worth of an exray and they HAVE TO ACCEPT or don't get paid. There is an off chance I might have to pay a small portion. not very often this happens!!!! they usually accept what humanna offers. what is scary is they might decide not to accept Humanna Insurance. then we will be up the creek with out a paddle!!!!!
