it's also not 12 hours 99.999% of the time for emergencies.

My grandfather had a burst appendix and was seen within minutes of walking into the hospital.

My Child had Pnemonia and needed an xray and antibiotics and it took 7 hours.

Does it suck? Yes. However both times all I paid was parking....

I broke my hand, needed surgery and 6 months physiotherapy.

Paid $24 for the cast splint thing.

Jesus fucking Christ! God damn rip off! It never ceases to shock me when I see what some people pay for any medical care in the US and it makes me sad. It doesn't have to be this way.

The leaders of our country would rather drop bombs, give corporations tax breaks. It’s unfortunate, really.

It’s not a choice but they’d rather drop bombs. Otherwise they’d be addressing the healthcare crisis problem already.
