Our insurance plan covers no well care for my children. The first time we received a bill for immunizations from our doctor we were shocked at how much the doctors office charged for them. Our former pediatrician (who I liked and trusted) informed us that doing immunizations cost him a lot of money also and he made almost nothing off of doing them. He suggested that we check out the County Health center for reduced costs.
Since we do have insurance we still have to pay a fee (to help defray costs for the non-insured I guess) but it's a pittance compared to what we paid at the the doctors office. I think the current charge is $15.00 per set of shots per person.
Now I have to go hunt up the immunizations charts and my check book. Guess what we're doing today?

Although it looks suspiciously like our daughter has a bong in her hands, it's really a home-made instrument.
She loves to build these one man band contraptions now and then. That particular one is a paper towel trumpet with a hair band thumper and a American Idol "guitar" trinket from a happy meal.
Very, very entertaining instrument. :)
