I'm weirded out by the number of people on HN defending the US medical system. As someone living in the US mayself, everyone is well aware how crazy the medical system is, but in this thread there's a large number of people trying to justify 69k for an "expert" pushing a button to zap you with rays.
- kube-system 5y agoIt's a system that needs some changes, but also, the bill wasn't for an x-ray and nobody paid $69k.
- deltaoneseven 5y agoThe first thing wrong with the system is that number. 69k. Even if nobody paid 69k. Who made up that BS number and for what insidious purpose?
- kube-system 5y agoIt’s the actual price of the service plus the amount that insurance has haggled away.
