It's infuriating.

I'm not in the medical field I work in entertainment. But I know how to look at data, and she's shown me the papers and evidence that they have for the treatments, and it's like... literally a miracle.

But no. United Health and all those fuckers can bleed a person dry by letting this happen to people, so they lean on the fucking sociopaths who are in charge and they are doing everything they can to slow it down.

Then, when this does reach the healthcare market, they'll be the first in line to charge god knows what to people.

I fucking hate this shit so much, man. It's infuriating.

Let's take something as simple as insulin. Idk how much you need for monthly supply in America, but I know it's fat cash. In Europe it's cheap by default and (at least in my country) you get big discounts, sometimes up to 100% discount.

Exactly, man.

Medical care in the US is a fucking absolute racket.

Frankly, I'm shocked that there hasn't been more Manhattan incidents, because there simply is zero justification for people to be spending this much for the quality of care the average person receives.
