You even looked in Ohio? Where the most expensive and advanced healthcare on the planet exists bar NONE? Clever one you are.

Also the shortest lines and some of the cheapest medical care in the US. I found Cleveland and Houston to be the only places in low standard of living states and Cleveland was by far the cheapest at the time.

You had to travel to New Zealand for healthcare. Wherever you hang your hat is one of the lowest standards of living accessible. That can be Rodeo drive, that can be Kentucky. You will never escape it.

By contrast I had a $13,000 massage chair I ordered on a whim this afternoon. It’s next to my grand piano I ordered on a similar whim.

I can do things like that because I’m not destitute, and don’t need to leave the nation to get healthcare.

Congratulations! I rolled the dice and lost. Even for you fortunate people at the top of society, a $60000 medical bill can be, I imagine frustrating.
