Healthcare is a joke in the US.
Years ago my daughter broke her leg, and we didn't have health insurance. Money wasn't an issue, but nothing is more important than a child's house, and we had to see an orthopedic surgeon (or something along those lines). They told me the price of the visit - thousands of dollars - and then asked if we had insurance. "Nope". Then they told us the "non insurance price" - which was $700. WTF?
We had another similar issue this past month. We have insurance, and one dentist told us a root canal would cost $1300 (that's with our insurance!). There was a problem with the appointment and they sent us to another dentist, who charged us $345. WTF again?
