A woman I know spent two hours in hospital today for a non-serious issue. The bill: $12000

Note to self: never go to America. How is it even legal to charge that much?

I can’t even begin to understand the American concept that medical care is an industry which should make a profit, rather than the basic human right which it is in the rest of the civilised world.

I’ve said that if I ever get a horrible disease I’m moving to Canada. I might move there regardless. Just in case.
