>what kind of kaska-esque system is this?!

It's the system that us Americans are tricked into believing is the best and nOt sOciAlIsM. Certainly USA healthcare is "the best" — if you can afford it!

My personal belief is that the kafkaesque nature of so many systems is designed to keep people destitute and despondent — to quote ole TedK: "our system keeps people demoralized because a demoralized person won't fight back."

Having dropped out of a US medical school (almost two decades ago), I can assure you things have only gotten worse (from a bottom 80% POV). My best method of pyhhric victory is to not reproduce, earn just enough to live minimally (i.e. lessen tax burden/revenue), and never pay for health insurance.

YMMV — I quit, a long time ago.
