Out-of-pocket costs would have been about $50,000.

    because apparently, the alternative is communism, and it will have death panels that will decide if you get to live in order to save costs…

        that was my point.

        they prefer real material death panels, than the alternative, because it might have theoretical death panels. that no country with public healthcare has.
