$500.

So, because it is the beginning of the year and we have a $2,000 deductible, we have recently received a bill for my monthly lymphatic massages.  I really don't think I need to be going, but I have been for preventative reasons, security I guess.  However, I've decided that $500 a pop is a little steep for a massage that lasts less than 60 minutes.  I'll be calling to cancel my next one and hold off until I actually need to go...$500, really?  They could at least get sheets that don't pill so I don't have to use the medical tape as a lint remover before leaving the room.  Oh, and how about a new CD player that doesn't skip 25 times in an hour...that would be nice too.  

Charging for a service is one thing, but taking advantage of people who are desperate to be well and stay healthy is another... 
I'll be reviewing the internet videos for self lymphatic drainage once again and keep my $500 for the time being...
