A mother dying of ALS is recording her wisdom for her children and pleading with the government to control health care costs
“Her other battle was making people realize that health care’s oppressive costs can be a drain on those around you. Her family spends at least $20,000 a month for round-the-clock care, therapists, aides and medicines.
‘We did everything you’re supposed to do. We had savings in the bank, we were in a good position,’ she said. ‘This is bankrupting us.’”

I am a doctor and I couldnt agree with controlling health care cost more.
It seems like in order to control cost, we need to first find an itemnized bill of how much each thing cost.
Where is all the money going to?
