Hosts discuss pet healthcare costs and listener dilemmas. (Part 3)

Um, geez, Mrs. Schubert, pets are unbelievably expensive and vet bills are through the roof. And it's because whereas somebody used to have a vet business on their own, now there's these conglomerates. And so the prices really have skyrocketed. And one thing we need to do is bring that to the attention of the Congress when we can. When, you know, when we have our democracy saved. So that's very important because it's happening to everybody. But I'm right there with you. I mean, there are. My pets have various ailments that I don't do anything about because I couldn't possibly afford to take them in. So I'm sympathetic and I don't have an answer, really. My mail source is Adam Felber, who has bid on every Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone show. Adam, thank you for joining us tonight.

If Odo has arms, I hate to break this to you, but what you have there is a person, not a dog, and thus is probably eligible for Obamacare or at least Medicaid. So you might want to look at that point, Adam. There's been huge cuts in both of those. Yeah, but dogs have legs. Also, I want to say I hope that Odo is in fact named after the character played by Rene Aubergando's on Deep Space Nine. That would be my hope. Well, Adam, when it comes down to. No, no, no, Bonnie, please don't. When it comes down to this, I wouldn't set a dollar limit so much as a quality of life limit.
