What's the point of health insurance anyway?
They just charge exorbitant prices for basic BS. Single bandage at the hospital? $20 please JUST for the bandage, nothing yet for the nurse, no no that's separate.
Meanwhile you could get 10 bandages at the local pharmacy for $5 and if you're nice the clerk wraps it around your wound.
The only system that makes sense is a controlled state system like we have in the EU where the prices are strictly regulated.
Hell, even here the prices are high, but not THAT high.
Technically, that's the hospital extorting the insurance company, but it's connected for sure.
