If you were poor and given an opportunity to become a doctor but get paid only as much as a housekeeper, would you do it?

Luigi should be freed because the subject in question decides to pay the doctor far more than a nurse but at the same time they take an even larger chunk for doing nothing at all. All this does is ensures the patient dies or becomes a working slave or dies slowly after becoming homeless.

If you make 200k you'll still find it hard to pay 10k a month or whatever these people want. If you make 50k and are sole provider you're so very much screwed.

Even if you make 200k, paying 10k a month would be just about your entire take-home pay.

I do not make that much, but my insurance pays out something close to $300K a year for my normal monthly meds. Chronic conditions in the US ftw.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here's a clip of him on CNN.
