LOL @ US Healthcare (the whole system)
You get this shit in markets without pricing transparency. Price transparency, while not a silver bullet, is a key solution to the health care issues in America. Google the Surgery Center of Oklahoma to see what the future could be.
This. Completely fucked up. Will destroy itself and force a socialist replacement system.
Americans dont want price transparency, they want dirt cheap shit with someone else paying the bill.

Are supplies not worth more money when supply chains are interrupted? That's not price gouging, if you have someplace else to get those things for less money, then by all means buy them there instead.
Oh, they're not available elsewhere? Then it's not price gouging.
Supply and demand. Simple economics. He may be a price gouging asshole taking advantage of a situation, but it is a wise business practice based on the simple economic principle of supply and demand.

I only hope our government doesn't do the healthcare what it has done to education.
I agree Matt however its pretty hard to get worse than this:
To be fair, it is not all due to the broken Healthcare system. Lifestyle choices have a lot to do with it tooI agree Matt however its pretty hard to get worse than this:

Our government is already spending more and giving us less
I don't even want a fully socialized system like the UK or Canada. I think Germany has a great system. Japan's system is pretty good too, but I don't see our government willing to set prices so strictly like the Japanese do.
It's only a key difference if you make it that. Business is business. You're putting medical care compensation on a pedestal it needs not be on. If you want to go to the ER for a bandaid, go for it. You must be prepared to pay for it. If your insurance is inadequate that is your own fault, boo hoo. Who do you want to pick up the bill? The hospital, great lets drive them out of business. The government, they'll just make us pay for it. The tax payers, see government. It's called self responsibility. If you are so irresponsible that you went to the ER with inadequate medical insurance, there is a stupid tax you need to pay.
Whos fault but his own is it he went to the ER? Nobodies, pay the bill and shut the fuck up.
Again, self responsibility. Dude was obviously intelligent enough to know that his life was not in danger due to massive blood loss. He went to urgent care and let them determine what needed to be done. They treated and released him. This is how the world works. Think. Use common sense. It's not as difficult as you are making it.
Actually in most civilized states, such as California such ER billing is ILLEGAL. Time for more states to make this practice illegal.
When are they going to make their massive deficit illegal. :awe:
With Surplus in Hand, California Eyes Debt

Any other talking points you got?
It's got nothing to do with self-responsibility and the moment anyone uses that phrase it's a good indication that what they're about to say is a load of nonsense.
And thus you've proven.
There is nothing intelligent about refusing to go to ER when you've had half of your hand crushed.

No, it is you who has the reading comprehension issues. As I pointed out, I was responding to OverVolt's post when I mentioned the hospital.
