I understand you pretty well. But see, the majority of people in this forum are from the USA so most of the scenarios that you draw like "freak cases" are normal day to day things that happen in the USA where most healthcare is for-profit.
For someone that is used to social/universal healthcare (like UK, Norway, France, Germany) the prospect of having to deal with stupid for-profit situations during an emergency are laughable. But for someone living in that hell, it is something normal. Not for anything you read countless of anecdotes of people deciding to stay at home and use some superglue or rolled towels when they have an accident and bleed.
I've had the opportunity of experience the two systems (UK' NHS, Germany´s Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, Mexico's IMSS for public, and Mexico's private system) and really makes me angry that society is moving toward for-profit privatized systems instead of looking to fix the issues in universal/public systems. (It's like if when we saw that the police or the firefighters were not working, we decided to make law enforcement private... throwing the baby out with the bathwater)
