The healthcare system in the USA is broken. I have GERD and need to see a surgeon, but I'm currently in between jobs whlie in Graduate School so I'm just managing by drinking herbal teas and not eating much food.
Healthcare should be universal and free for everyone. It's a ridiculous system in a ridiculous country where people avoid healthcare they need because of money.
On the flip side, my mom HAS health insurance but got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her late 60s. Her injections to try to save her life were thousands of dollars per injection even with health insurance. Damned if you do damned if you don't really.
