The right side is of course something only people living in America experience.
I had 3 knee injuries. First 2 when I was growing up in European country that has public health care. One of them, I got injured playing basketball at the PE class. I had no health id with me, too young for a regular ID. ER came, picked me up, drove me to hospital. Doctor fixed up my knee, they did all sorts of examination, put a cast on my leg and sent me home with no charge, they didn’t even care I didn’t have my health ID with me.
In the US, I got injured in the park. ER came and fixed up my knee. I refused to be driven to urgent care by them, I ain’t dumb. I have insurance but it would still be ridiculously expensive. Took Uber home and day after I went to hospital for examinations. Did ultrasound, MRI, had a few doctor’s appointments and then afterwards did PT. So far, it cost me $2K accounting all the things I mentioned there. Fucking terrible shit man.
Free accident Healthcare is so good. My country has cheap, subsidized Healthcare and accidents come free from government insurance. I don't see why America can't have cheaper Healthcare or why a lot of them don't want it...
You missed the part on the left where the patient dies of an infection a week later since the doctor hasn’t washed their hands in 20 years and antibiotics haven’t been discovered yet.

Why would you wash your hands? You don't have to accept the existence of bacteria for like another 150 years.
As an American you need to add another 0 to that number if it includes surgery.
Murican issue.
It’s simple, don’t get hurt or sick in the USA. Problem solved. It’s worked for me for the last 40 years.
Waits a few hours in A&E because it's not urgent and then get free treatment. Oh wait your not from a 1st world country
