My opinion on health Insurance

Recently an uninsured musician that I know was struck by a car. He said the life flight helicopter ride cost him $3,000. Yesterday someone told me that their grandpa had a stroke and was in the hospital for three days and died. The hospital charged his family $80,000. I have a brother and brother in law that practice medicine and they don't seem to be making an income that you would expect.

Somehow we need to figure out how to lower the cost of medical care while still paying doctors what they are worth. When medical costs go down, so will insurance costs.
