I completely agree. It disgusts me. What is next... I should bring my own bandages and surgical tools from home?

I also think that if you DO need to pay a stranger to take you home and be with you, your insurance needs to pay for that too.

I also find it strange that there is no non profit for this. There seems to be a non profit for everything but not this.

Maybe some of us should write our elected officials -- they seem to respond to everyone else.
