    I had to pay a $3000 hospital bill last year for surgery that I waited two years to get and it didn’t even work. And I have what is considered good insurance.

    The system is fucking broken.

      Oh… Poor guy, lives in one of the richest countries of the world and has one of the best healthcare systems ever. Poor guy had to pay money :(, paying money = bad! Paying more of that money in taxes even yiu never use the system to have “free” care = good!

        Considering I wouldn’t have had to pay that money if I lived in any other Western country, you’re correct, except not sarcastically. Why do people deserve to go broke just because they have cancer?
