And when I am having a manic episode it is kind of hard for me to search for the cheapest hospital to have myself involuntarily committed.
There are just some thing capitalism really sucks at, just admit it.
Just go on amazon and try to buy something if you think finding the "cheapest price" would help people get healthcare.
But also, am I supposed to suffer higher prices because of my specific illness that they can charge whatever they want?
It's much easier to address the cost of non ED care and since it's 90% of spending, that seems like a good place to start?
