So, we in the TGLB community use less health care and a tad bit more mental health care. Hmm.... I spend about $400 on an average visit to my doctor. What does a shrink cost these days? Is it $400?
So, it follows, (perhaps incorrectly but this is my opinion, so I'll be opinionated) that we spend LESS on health care? Did I think through that correctly?
Wouldn't that keep health insurance rates down a bit? They should be thanking us!
