  • Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, “How much will it cost?” Nurse said “I have no way of knowing that.”

    I said, “No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost.” She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

    How are we supposed to “let the market sort out the cost” when we can’t see the cost before the bill?

    Not in my area. They make so much money standing on busy corners that they prefer to be homeless. I watched one for 15 minutes get 8 donations. It was all cash, so a minimum $8 for 15 min, $32/hour, tax free. They are making more money outside Walmart than working inside Walmart.

    Edit: It seams like a lot of people are mad that homeless people in my area are not committing crime so they can have a better life in jail.

    I don’t know what to tell you. I never said they don’t need help or that they have a great life or that they earn enough to get by. I said they make more money than the people who work in the Walmart that they stand in front of. There are woods behind, and they all camp out back there. I have been back there, it is quite a set-up.
