I was in the hospital for less than 3 hours.

A few weeks later I started receiving the bills. All said and done: $5,000!!!!

$5,000 to TELL ME I had just passed a kidney stone! Are you fucking kidding me?!

And there are right wing asswipes in this country who think our healthcare system is just fine. Amazing!
