Yeah it's nuts. Someone I know sprained their ankle. They recommended that he should use a cane for a while and said they had one to give him. When the bill came weeks later it was $200 for the cane that looked really close to what you can get for $20 at Walmart. The really messed up thing is I drove him to the doctor and I carried some of the paperwork out (wasn't the bill) so he could use both hands to move around safely. When I was outside I held the piece of paper up and a gust of wind bent the paper in such a way that I ended up with a really nasty paper cut. Like a 2 inch slice on the inside of my finger. One of the worst paper cuts I've ever gotten. So I went back into the medical center and I asked them if I could get a band-aid. They asked why, so I explained. I got a few smirks from them (they borderline laughed in my face) and they told me that they weren't allowed to give away medical supplies and that I should go a few blocks away to a CVS (a local drug store). Meanwhile just to be insured costs $450 / month for the bare minimum (which I don't pay for but I've payed many thousands in fines for not having insurance).
