    C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it's "please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance".

    Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.

    Personal medical piss off this last week -

    Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.

    Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I'm on my 2nd of 3 doses and it's fully covered and it's a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It's basically a cancer vaccine. You'd think it's cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don't know if it's because he's over the 'recommended age' by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because us-foreign-policy. I'm going to have to call and find out WTF the deny-defend-depose was for.

      This reminds me of how when Cuba nationalized the fruit companies land, they paid them back what the fruit companies had had the land valued at. That value was much lower than a fair valuation, because it meant the companies would have to pay lower taxes on the land.
      Maybe someday in a better world, this case will be used as precedent to persecute capitalists. Could be fun.
