Re: MD Anderson's charges
I agree with Ann. This family chose to go there, knowing that they did not take their insurance. I am sure there are several good clinics in ohio that they could have went to. Saying " that it meant a lot for the wife to go there" because her dad went there is not a really compelling reason to go there.
I am in mn, and I m sure there are some people who would love to go to Mayo for treatment, but can't because of ins/ expenses etc. If someone chooses to go there knowing they don't take thier ins, they can't be upset when they get astronomical bills.
