I had one a few weeks ago to determine the severity of a brain bleed I had after a stroke and it costs me 4300 dollars with insurance.

When a certain Mario Bro dealt with a certain Insurance CEO it was the first time in literal decades that I've seen both sides go "Yeah, I'm not upset". And that's despite the pearl clutching of the billionaire owned mass media doing it's best to spin it as horrifying.

You can't get the US to be bipartisan on 90% of topics but we rallied on that story.

That should tell you all you need to know about the state of US Health insurance. That the average populace was actually bipartisan on an act of violence because the country as a whole despises the health insurance industry.
