I've lived in Europe for a decade now and I have a similar reaction when my family still in the US talks about medical expenses or I think back to how I weighed financial vs. medical decisions during those years. It's inhumane, and seemingly impossible to impress on middle-class Americans how unnecessary and pervasive the cruelty is. Living or even thinking within its frame leaves one a broken person.
