Welcome to medical care handled by capitalism and lobbyists. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for capitalism, but not when it comes to our health and the care we need.

I'd consider myself pretty resourceful & smart, but I can only imagine what others go through when it comes to scheduling procedures, etc. talking their lingo, and dealing with shitty front desk people, or calling the ins co to find out WTF is going on and why.
