Yep. The medical industry is FUBAR'd and needs to be nuked from orbit and started over fresh. It's perverted at so many interdependent layers that it's impossible to unravel the whole thing piece-by-piece. We need to start over and regulate it tightly to keep it sane.
Source: I spend over $1k / mo on medical bills, and I have "really good insurance". In the past my plan had been simply to ignore exorbitant medical costs and my credit got pretty disfigured that way. I've been rehabilitating it the last few years, but if I can get to a place where I don't need credit, you can bet that the first thing I'll do is ignore any frivolous medical billing. We have to stop propping up this disgusting system.
