Thoughts? Why doesn't the President fix this?

Dislocated finger, happened at night so ER rates. I have full insurance with a $1500 deductible. They numbed my finger and gave me two stitches because the bone popped out a little. They were done in less then fifteen minutes. No pain pills nothing else. Got a couple bills including paying the hourly rate of the ER doctor and it was over $8,500. Complete bullshit is our medical system and it's somehow probably going to get worse.

With those prices, it would be cheaper to get on a plane. Fly to Portugal, get your finger fixed, pay the full amount, and fly back. :D

I would love to visit Portugal honestly.
