Virtually all health insurance will also pay for the flu shot (since paying for a flu shot for all their members is less expensive than paying for their hospital stays). So:
flu shot: $0+(0.02*0)+(0.0001*200) = $0.02
no flu shot: $0+(0.05*0)+(0.00025*200) = $0.05
...percentage-wise, that's huge.
Evidently, socialized medicine (in the UK) does not.
LOL.
Huh. Well, that's unexpected.
