While 200 USD is certainly cheap by comparison to the US costs, it's still not affordable for a lot of people in this country.

- taway20171214 9y agohere, i'll tell you why you're getting downvoted. the problem with what you're saying is you can apply it to literally any price point. in other words, it's a meaningless statement. $100 or $10 are certainly cheap, but is not affordable for a lot of people in this country either. there are points in my life when i couldn't spare $10 or even $5. it might happen again if something bad happens. in fact you could probably go down all the way to $1, or a fraction thereof. what about the single working mom who needs that $1 to ride the bus or the homeless person who uses the coin-op restroom? there's plenty of them out there, and they can't afford it. at the end of the day, $200 for a foreigner, uninsured, to receive prompt attention, stitches and a short hospital stay with drugs, is cheap. the world is not a fair place but this isn't what should be worrying us.
