Yes, prices in the USA seem totally out of control. I pay a significant amount in the UK in tax towards the NHS ( I think about £7500 a year of my tax goes towards it) but that's nothing like what I'd pay in the USA. It's not just the system there that is poor, it's how expensive it is in addition.
