The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
my dad got a hospital bill last month.
went in for chest pain. stayed 2 nights. nothing serious.
the bill was $34,000.
insurance covered $21,000
we owe $13,000.
he's 67 retired on a fixed income.
i went back and looked it up.
the hospital reported $2.1 billion in revenue last year.
$2.1 billion and they're billing a 67 year old retired man $13,000 for 2 nights.
