Yeah, but the two bits you pay for a bandaid with public health systems turns out to be a lot more when you multiply it by the 293,027,571 of us who will be paying for the rest of it. under the private system I have been billed $50 for a bandaid too.

But under the private system I have been billed $50 for a bandaid too. Oh, really? I thought you said you don't have health insurance because you can't afford it. Maybe you once had it but don't any more? Did you pay the $50 bill, send it on to the insurance company to pay, bring it to the insurance company's claims unit's attention, or complain to the health provider?
