    Holy fuck. That’s so much. God forbid you live and continue to function in society. It’s almost like the people who control the prices just want us to die or some shit.

      Kind of. The hospitals and clinics don’t want that, in part because a sick patient is a revenue stream and in part because I’m sure a lot of medical professionals genuinely care about their patients.

      I’d say the health insurance companies are more interested in a sick patient’s death. They’d prefer healthy people paying premiums but not having a lot of claims. It increases their profits.
