[QUOTE="TheObserver, post: 7826721, member: 43341"] Hello, just adding my two cents as an example. I'm not a writer or designer by any means but I do make a good living working in Information Technology. I have health insurance for my wife and myself and over the summer while I was working on crafting some terrain for D&D I cut one of my finger tips almost off doing something stupid instead of taking the time to be safe. Well long story short my wife takes me to one of the new satellite Emergency Centers and not an Urgent Care facility. Come to find out I didn't cut bone and didn't need even need stitches just answered questions got a shot and bandage. Almost a month later a bills show up for close to $1500 and another one I'm assuming just showed up for $99 for the being seen by a Nurse. To say that the US Healthcare system is broken is an understatement, but like others state there a lot of moving pieces, from Lawyers, to Doctors, nurses, insurance brokers, and the government.
