Right. For perspective, I once paid $200 for a single Xray (needed 3, total $600, not counting the doctors bill). And that’s with health insurance.
If you have to go to urgent care, expect to pay close to $1000 for simple needs, much higher than that for more complex needs. An ambulance ride can cost upwards of $5000, and an airlift is several times that.
Then you add the complete absence of consumers rights and little to no oversight on industrial activity. Lead and PFA poisoned water, food additives that are banned in most of the developed world, sugar in everything,… It’s near impossible not to get sick here.
