  • I’m more an outlier, but I have stage 5 kidney failure (at 42) and I’m on dialysis. It’s roughly $750,000 a year +meds so closer to 800k. I’ve paid about $200 over a year and a half. With Medicare, Medicare, and my work insurance.

    The bills are absolutely absurd, but they’re all paid. That being said, they should be nowhere near that high, and just because I’m not racking up bills doesn’t mean it’s ok. But I am glad everything is covered for me at least with the current shit health insurance system.

    I mean, you’re kind of arguing how great the USA is. You put it on a pedestal as a beacon of perfection. Yeah it doesn’t have free healthcare, you’re absolutely right, I’m not sure what you’re point is? There are a lot of things wrong with the USA, it’s a huge country with quite a bit more diversity then other first world countries.

    Point being, why do you hold the USA to such high standards? If you think most Americans feel the US is “the best” you’re sorley mistaken.

    Sure. It’s also not weird for someone to not want to be with someone who’s keeping you around as a backup or piece of ass, especially being represented as a real relationship. Putting your all into one person and expecting the same back isn’t that radical of a concept.
