Review of Mercy Health System of Maine

This hospital taught me a valuable lesson: Pray you never get sick or hurt. The cost of care was astronomically high for a relatively (thank god) simple visit. Did I mention, I have insurance.

I'm very lucky that I have money to comfortably pay my bill but I can easily see how the healthcare industry is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in this country. We have something very , very wrong in this country. Especially when the quality of care has no relation to the costs. I'll give only one example: This place charged me $437 for a standard EKG heart test.

I honestly just feel sad. Sad for my country and what happens everyday to good people who just need help.
