While i know how health-care is working in the US, every time i read something about it i'm astonished and incredibly sad. How broke can a system be to put a price on health? And everybody cheering that someone is doing it in a trasparent way. Woooow. I wonder how you will all react if you'll find out, in future, that the surgery/procedure you actually need is too expensive for your pockets and not covere by the insurance (if you are elegible/have one).

Sorry to say this but: This whole system is a shame. And i just can't understand why the people in the US just don't realize it.

Not so broke, as it turns out, as the US pays more per capita in health care than pretty much every other country on the planet... It's not about being broke, it's about being dysfunctional.
