$150 fee for self-pays including cost of any lab work.

So's baby-doll, next time we come down with a very bad case of Winnipesaukee duck itch, we will be going to the $150 convenient care clinic at the hospital in Laconia, and be danged sure to stay the H away from the $924 emergency room visit at Speare Hospital in Plymouth. It is goodbye Plymouth ....... and........hello Laconia!

$150 or $924 is a big difference.......like no kidding! One hospital offers medical care at a lower and more affordable price.....and the other hospital offers medical care at an organized crime type of a price!
Or it could be a sign of just how bad the Laconia area is becoming.
Build a brand new hospital in a community that is going down the tubes and eventually will rely solely on summer tourism and the elderly retired who are moving up here to their 2nd homes.
Oh and we can't forget about the sleezballs who steal from Lowes then brag about it on a local forum.
