US Healthcare is a joke

I always tell people if I'm not dying or otherwise I'm not doing hospitals or ambulance rides i usually fix myself why?

because a sliced finger from a kitchen mishap that requires three small stitches ( Even with medical insurance) should not run me about $1,500 absolutely ridiculous or them still charging you but saying nothing is wrong the biggest theives in the country and sadly a lot of people are following me. for the average joe we just can't afford to go to hospitals anymore and it will get worse.

That is appalling. And I wonder what small portion of that sum goes to the nurse who actually does the stitching?

@SunshineGirl dont know where you are, but nurses dont stitch or staple.

@Patriot96 My wife does and has treated similar wounds outside of hospital. She is paid a little less than £22 per hour (approx $30).
