So currently if you get sick, you "win" the sick lottery and get to pay for other people's illness as a result.

What's a fair rate for a cut that just needs skin glue and some antibiotics? $500? or is it more like $2600? Because it sounds like he's paying somewhere around a 5x multiplier just because 1) he got a cut and 2) he can pay it.

At some point that won't be sustainable, and emergency rooms will shut down from the cost. People will just stop going to emergency rooms if it means getting a bill for 5x for what it should cost.




It’s already not sustainable.
