Huge Hike in Zimbabwe Hospital Fees

Hospital fees in Zimbabwe have increased by 333,200%!!! What does that even look like??? The fees were originally Z$300, and now top Z$1,ooo,ooo. so one million zimbabwe dollars is only ten US dollars, but I am sure the impact is being felt there!

can you imagine if the gas price went up by 333,200%??? instead of $3 per gallon as now, it would be $30,000 per gallon? what would happen? we'd all telecommute or walk or bike to work... public transport would have to be heavily subsidized, everything not local would be outrageously expensive, no more visiting family members outside of richmond (forget about india)...
