Hospital Bills Are Light in Germany
Webster City resident Fred Fisher received a letter from a Saxony based charity asking for funds to pay for an operation for an infant with deformed feet. He sent five dollars, later learning the operation succeeded and costs totaled 1200 marks. The five dollars became 1500 marks, a conversion that shows similar US costs would be about 200 dollars. The note also criticizes German prices, noting 100 pounds of potatoes cost roughly 50 cents in US money.
