| #3 When I was a grad student, the university informed me that one of the Chinese grad students in my lab complex had TB. I was none too thrilled since I already tested positive for TB antibodies (skin test) from my time in Asia. And yes, the university health plan covered treatment for the Chinese grad student. |

| #2 Well the California taxpayer takes it in the shorts already. $200,000 - 1.2 million per patient. Ouch..... So much for the recovery of California's economy. |
