Few would disagree that a benefit of growing our own food is the fresh air,
outdoor exercise, and far more nutritious eating. But how often do they
connect the need for it with the huge rise in degenerative diseases,
multiple drug costs, and the skyrocketing costs of health insurance and
hospital bills? I'm posting just one snip from this article, but the gist
is people with 6-digit incomes aren't safe from bankruptcy any more from
medical bills. They don't have a pill for that ...

Comments???

"For some people making above $100,000, when they get a hospital bill for
$100,000, they may not have the ability to pay," said Gerard Anderson,
director of the Center for Hospital Finance and Management at the Johns
Hopkins University public health school.
