Habanero, I’m not sure what your point is. I live in a doublewide, and we jokingly call it a trailer. It’s in a beautiful rural area surrounded by cattle ranches, K? If I have a heart attack, am taken by ambulance to the local hospital 15 miles away, am life flighted (I’m a member) to the larger cardiac unit 200 miles away, and have an emergency operation to repair a hole in my artery, I’m gonna have a huge-ass set of bills!! Maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?
So if I understand your post, I don’t deserve it? Trailer living Americans should only be allowed $200 a year in insurance? What?
The point could be made instead, Buck, that the current system INFLATES the cost of these services. Perhaps in France this exact same scenario would cost (wild number thrown out here, but based on statistics) $10,000, not $79,000. It’s the profit-driven system that MAKES it so expensive.
