This is the only way that medical care costs get spread out over a greater swath of the public, which is needed to control medical care cost inflation.

I was going to post a facepalm pic, but I don't think such exists, that merits following the above statement...

Any medical procedure in the US costs 3 to 5 times what it costs in other nations.....and the main reason is the lawyers in America have gotten rich while they have ruined our healthcare system. The other reason it is so expensive is because the insurance companies are billed up the wazoo for what should be more reasonable prices, but this done so that the illegals, the sluggos, and the Gibsmedats get theirs paid for.
