Doonesbury Say What?

"You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor, they would say I'll paint your house. I mean, that's the old days of what people would do to get health care with your doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."
-- Sue Lowden, U.S. Senate candidate in Nevada

The meds for my condition, if I didn't have insurance through my wife, would run $10,000 a month.

That's a lot of chickens and painting.


Reality check, table 4?

Very cool. I have no problem with barter, I think it's a good thing. But I see a problem with scaling in extreme cases like mine.
