america is like religion to some americans
no matter how deep the government fucks them, americans will always find justification
prices in my country with medicare now privatized:
dentist average bill =20$
blood test =20-100$ (100$ gets you everything from hormones to STD-s not just the regular stuff)
specialist check up=5-10$ maybe 50$ for a fancy plastic surgeon but you would have to be an idiot
MRI or CAT scan= 20$
hospital day=5-10$ the food sucks but you can get your own...
a relative of mine recently paid 2000$ for complicated surgery to the head, this is really a very high figure...
you guys seem to have i-healthcare
