      A while back my brother slipped when folding up his pocket knife and stabbed himself in the hip. He went to the local hospital. 6 hours later they slapped a bandaid on him and sent him home. Then came the bill. $3,500! He doesn't have health insurance. He says he won't pay $3,500 for a bandaid when mexicans get treated for free. That hospital is SOL.
