    What good is getting a diagnosis if you can’t pay for the treatment. I’m stuck in this position right now. American health insurance is nothing but a glorified discount plan/coupon book scam.

      And getting a diagnosis can be an absolute shitshow all by itself. God help you if you need a “specialist.”

    Americans have a lower life expectancy than people in other rich countries despite paying much more for healthcare. What factors may explain this?
