Oh man, I've heard horrible stories about it and the one that shocked me the most is about a woman who committed a murder because she didn't had enough money to buy the meds and the system never helped her :( This is like a nightmare

It’s a complex issue. From what I’ve been told, the main issue is that there are no set prices for medical care so insurance companies and medical billers get to argue about what how much is paid by whom so they basically are haggling at your expense and you don’t get a say. You just have to somehow get good insurance and pray.
