gaulish··on She paid husband's hospital bill. A year after his death, they wanted more money
I love my quality of care in the US. My insurance is quite reasonable compared to what my increased tax burden might look like overseas. I can’t imagine living in a nation that would make me wait months for something like an MRI, I love living in a nation where I can get an MRI for myself and my dog in the same day. I also enjoy living in a nation that doesn’t suggest I kill myself over trivial situations and backlogs, let alone suggest I kill myself at all.

The only thing I hate is dealing with Byzantine clerical processes in the occasions they make a mistake. Have to waste 3 hours on back and forth phone calls because a low-level nurse made a typo is obnoxious.

I’m asking here the locals here, I haven’t been to the city in over 20 years so I haven’t the slightest idea.
