The most infurriating thing about health care, at least in the US, is that those that can most afford it, rarely pay for it. This isn't a jibe at you Timber. This is more at the extreme wage "earners" - like insureance co executives! You know the ones that dictate to doctors what treatment should or not be done, all in the intrest of ~~driving up profit margins~~ "saving costs". Insurance Co CEOs are the highest payed CEOs of any industry, yet you can bet that they never have to worry about insurance claims. Of course they can more than afford it out of pocket, but hey - just another perk.
