FLUFFYGERM posted... if TC's income was average or less they'd have even waived the costs depending on the state he's in Why are you attacking the OP in a bid to ignore the fact that the system is clearly messed up? The services he got simply should not cost that much overall and should not have cost him that much. There's proven better ways to do it, but you are focused on attacking the victim of a broken mess. In any other circumstance you'd laugh at someone who is financially stable complaining about a cost. TC is not an example of the system being messed up. His costs are a very small percentage of his income and net worth. How much should it have costed for immediate high-quality care? His level of compensation even coming into the picture at this level is evidence of how broken the system is. It shouldn't be anywhere near a deductible. I wouldn't laugh nearly regardless of how much he made because he shouldn't be paying $1500 for that, period. His costs are the problem, both in terms of the fact that our prices are opaque and incredibly inflated, and the fact that he is expected to pay out of pocket for something we could cover with taxes like a rational 1st world country. --- http://i.imgur.com/0Bi86cp.gif <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:900249251] in Trip to th...
