        1. Why are eyes and my teeth not considered part of regular health insurance? I mean, I know the answer... Because these bastards will wring every dollar they can out of us and tell us it's for our own good while they skate to record profits.

        Love to have my health insurance tied to my employer, so if I leave one job for another, I might have increased healthcare costs to the tune of thousands of dollars/year strictly because my doctors don't take part in another company's unnecessary role. This is a good system.

      Love to have to call and negotiate costs around things, telling hospitals "no, i think this is a mistake" and it turns out, months later, that it _is_ a mistake and somebody put in the wrong billing code and I had to be the one to navigate all of it. What if I didn't know?

    Our healthcare system is _broken_. Fundamentally. At its core. I can't believe we allow this. Medical bills are the number two reason for personal bankruptcies in this country. Can you imagine looking at this and going "This is the best we can do."?
