    Number one cause of bankruptcy in America:

    Medical debt.

    A doctors visit could cost you a thousand.

    An MRI will cost you 3-5k

    A few stitches could cost you 10k.

    A single stint to unblock an artery will cost near 100k or more.

    long term stays for severe injuries, Radiation, chemo, coma, life support… Just write off anything anyone in your family could earn in the next 5 or 10 generations.

    All the while paying a mandatory 30k per year for insurance (which, like.you said, will deny, delay,defraud).

    And then there’s the cost of prescription medication…

    On an unrelated note:

    Who’s your favourite Mario Kart character?

      Who’s your favourite Mario Kart character?

      Likeable chap in a green hat. His name escapes me at the moment.
