> The clinic then fucked up billing, overcharged us, and it took another few months for all of this to get sorted out. > The first part of this story isn't too different from the Canadian system, the second is a pile of unnecessary stress added on top. IMO the cost in stress and time of the American system is under-appreciated. We pay way more than other advanced states and have to deal with a whole bunch of companies, all of which seem to be either incredibly incompetent or actively trying to screw us, every time we actually need healthcare, which is precisely when we really don't need more stress or to have extra demands on our time. It's awful.
