US healthcare is extortion.

I live in Australia and suffered an A.V. malformation in my brain and almost died. I was flown to a major hospital in the city for emergency brain surgery and spent 3 months in recovery. The whole thing cost me exactly $0.

America really screwed over it's own people, huh?

This is the answer to (almost) every single problem in America

I'm in America but get socialized health care as a veteran (although they're desperately trying to kill it off.)

I have a full hospital facility in my city - so I can see my doctor, then go get xrays and blood work, then pick up my meds in one trip under one roof. Just always makes me wish it could be that simple for everyone.
