That is why we need universal healthcare.

And this is on top of the fact that 20 to 25% off the top goes to pay the insurance companies' overhead.

That's why it needs a overhaul republicans won't do it,paid off by insurance companies

I support medicare-for-all however I do believe America like all of the other countries with Universal Health Care should have a choice of supplemental insurance. Medicare does not pay for everything.

I spent 5 days in a Hungarian hospital this spring. They made me well and it cost $824. I had two EKGs, two sonograms 17 bags of fluid because of vomiting and diarrhea from dehydration. I did have to supply my own toilet paper eating utensils and bath towel . There were always from three to five of us in the room but the most important thing is they made me well. It would not have cost me a dime if I had been from the EU.

It’s INSANITY. Health care is at like 10% of GDP and WAY more of the federal budget than they like to say. There is administrative waste, over treatment waste, fraud waste. And no regulation at all on pharmaceuticals.

I've seen it up close and personal. It is ridiculous.

Insurance system is designed for greed not need.

Reprehensible

Horrendous
