    I just paid three bills at 50 cents on the dollar because I don't have insurance

    The fact that providers gladly take half price to avoid insurance should tell you something

    If you have half a brain

    The fact that the numbers make that a better deal for me is also revealing

    If you have half a brain
    If only we had half brains, we would let Medicare and Medicaid negotiate compensation rates and drive down charges for everyone. But we don't do that.
    That would defeat the cash discount. The cost of insurance, government red tape and the like is why the bill is 50% higher to begin with

    Cash doesn't require a staff of drones and massive storage of data
    I can't afford to pay for cancer surgery or MS medication out-of-pocket, even at a 50% discount. So now what?
    Take it like a man and die. It's God's plan.

    The laws of health care economics must be different here than in the rest of the developed world or something

    It's almost like eating habit and exercise play a part in how much health care you consume
    I know the US leads the way, but the entire Anglosphere is pretty fucking fat.

    Latest profile in courage from the Senate: four senators have called a press conference offering to pass the "skinny repeal" so long as the House pinkie swears or something not to make it law.

    You can't make this shit up.
