>>I have to wonder when the government starts giving medicine for free. Hmmm, people just get in line and take the shots. I don't think so. I'll take my chances. My experience with the government has been one of trust, but verify and re-verify and re-... I think you get my drift. It is totally illogical that the government, those who take from those who work, would want to give me anything, unless there was a payback. I'll just keep washing my hands, avoiding sick people, and taking my chances. I plan to live forever, so far, so good! lol

>I think the payback is a health work force, but I understand your reasoning. When we had to pay for the flu shot it was - Get this . . . Five bucks. :)) and you are charged how much?

I paid $10, which was at the time my co-pay for my primary. (Raised that to $15 at the start of this year.) If I'd had the shot when I was there for something else, there would have been no additional charge.
