The US medical system is absolutely broken. Big Medicine has the weight to steamroller individuals, so it does. It's absolutely disgusting.
Other countries don't put up with this shit. Even very small and poor countries have a single-payer medical system with the government underwriting the bills for people who are disadvantaged, thus preventing the ridiculous '$1000 dollars for a bag of salt water' kind of charge.
How come the 'exceptional, indispensable' country, the one that's 'the world's sole superpower' somehow can't afford it?
It can of course, except that Big Medicine wants to have its cake and eat it too.
