the US has no excuse

some great examples of us hospitals setting pretty exorbitant prices for health care:

The infamous $629 bandaid
Woman charged $40 for holding her baby after a c-section
Two South Korean tourists took their baby to the ER where he was only given some formula and took a nap before being discharged but were given a $18,836 bill
Canadian man gets heart surgery in Florida and is billed over 600k USD
Some more pictures of people’s hospital bills
A public hospital’s ER is out-of-network with all private insurances, resulting in many patients being stuck with unreasonable bills and eventually resulting in a class action lawsuit over their billing practices
Annual healthcare spending in the US is estimated at 3.5 trillion, and billing prices are pretty much unfair and inconsistent, even for insured patients with legal loopholes and hospital discretion in setting prices
Billing announcements, and million dollar hospital bills on the rise
Top 35 Most Expensive Health Conditions in the US
Just… facility fees
Hospitals are more likely to tell you how much parking costs than how much a basic ECG test costs (meaning they probably inflate prices arbitrarily for patients… possibly on an individual basis)
Hospitals are magically able to “discount” hospital bills to less than a thousand dollars for patients that receive national attention in media (x, x)
People in the US are less likely to seek medical care because of high prices, even though 42% of doctors believe their patients are receiving too much health care (falsely)

Hey idk how many of you follow Phoenix Wright in the news but

americanhealthcaresystem

You know how he’s supposed be like this paragon of virtue who’s going to “fix everything wrong with our courts” right? Yeah… no. Today, it was discovered that he. fucking. forged evidence. It’s not even really the first time he’s done something shady either – remember back in March of last year when he tried to pin the blame that rightfully belonged to his client on an innocent woman? Or December three years ago when he got the judge to overturn an already-announced guilty verdict? So, yeah, that guy’s fucking cancelled.

Honestly things like this are why I don’t have any faith in our court system :/

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
