Its funny, the healthcare system in the US is broken but not for the reasons Hasan thinks. Thanks to government over-intervention insurance companies essentially see humans as an ATM. This has caused even the smallest thing to be exorbitantly expensive (I once paid 1000 dollars for a flu and strep test at an emergency room that billed itself as an urgent care and told me my insurance would cover everything.) On the flipside, saying "everything should be free" leads to disastrous consequences. Rationing, poor care, creating soft slaves out of competent doctors etc. I think I might despise Hassan more than any other breadtube loser. As people have pointed out on twitter, he's an extremely successful "capitalist" that makes all of his money preaching against everything he practices.

That may be the simplest correct way I've seen the problem expressed in a while. The prices are made up so getting butthurt about the unit cost for something doesn't make sense. It's a milking of the people for whatever they've got. Which is why so many hospital bills go unpaid.
I find it hard to believe it costs $10,000. Someone is making an obscene profit.
