Me too 

MRI are truly expensive and insurance companies don’t want to cover it 

Don't get started on how families who choose to have a home birth are treated by the insurance companies... its a mess. From here on out my goal is to just focus on being as healthy as possible for my family and steer clear of the medical system as much as I can.

The US is responsible for 41% of global healthcare spending

I remember when I was living in LA I had a health scare and needed a scan. I didn't have healthcare at the time. They told me it would be tens of thousands for the scans without healthcare. It was cheaper for me to fly home to Ireland and go private- about ten times cheaper. It's wild.
