It reminds me of what my mechanic friend used to say about diesel repairs. Just add a 'zero'. Because that fuel pump that costs $200 for your gas powered car costs $2000 for your diesel vehicle. Healthcare costs are out of control anyway, but when you add the word 'mental' to it, the costs become a SaturnV.

Maybe stop using 'cost' as the sole criteria when it comes to healthcare? Or society in general, for that matter?

BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! (I knew I could not say that with a straight face. Because that ain't gonna happen.)
