    1. American medical system update: my wife recently had an emergency appendectomy. I'm looking at the breakdown right now and without insurance, we'd be paying around $25k. With, we're still going to be sitting around $2k. I have good insurance. What the fuck is this system?

    Here's a surgery that is immensely frequent and referred to as "simple" by every doctor that rolled through. It's on an organ you don't use. You'll die if you don't have it. No insurance? You're _fucked_. Good insurance? Hope you have savings.
