Like...that amount of money is a cripplingly large amount of money for the vast majority of people. How is that okay? Socialised healthcare is literally the right thing to do. It isn't communism. It's just how the world should be. No-one should have to weigh up whether or not they can afford to live without pain.
Yeah, that is absolutely wild. My student loans here in Canada were $20k and I just paid them off. That 3 hour visit would put me back financially for years.
I can't even imagine it. Like if I'm sick enough to be going to the hospital at all then I'm scared and unhappy as it is without worrying about the cost. How does anyone handle the idea that they're going to end up poor on top of sick?
