Cash and Money

You sometimes I just wonder about people and what has happened to healthcare. I saw a nice family this week who's child had an allergic rash. When I came back to the room to talk about our plan and told her that she was going to need to get some over the counter steroid cream she responded.."wait, wait, I am going to have to pay for something?!?!" I honestly didn't know what to say and we are certainly not talking about an expensive item that is likely going to take the rash away. Is that how the public thinks healthcare should work? All the care should be free and all the medications free? Let's see what healthcare reform has in store for us.
