There are two things that drive me nuts regarding this matter -

1. Our do nothing government.

2. The OVER inflated cost of our health care in this country. I am currently wearing a Holter heart monitor that I received yesterday. I was warned when I picked up the monitor to be careful with it - due to the cost of the unit !!$4200 DOLLARS!! It looks like a vintage 1980's beeper. Now I realize that this is a sophisticated piece of equipment but is it really worth $4200?!? I seriously doubt it.
