In the early 2000s I ended up with a lot of time on my hands and watched reruns of Dawson's Creek. I also enjoyed Varsity Blues as well. Sucks to see young parents pass away. May he rest in Peace.

I realize he left a large family behind, but using a GoFundMe to raise over $2 million?

Yep.  The insurance companies are in bed with the doctors and both want to stay in business so they keep making donations to the FDA.   Figure out the rest.

The doctors are NOT the problem.  They are key to healthcare.  The insurance companies and private equity buying hospitals and medical practices are the problem.

Capitalism isn't the right fit for healthcare.

Who is the client?  Is it the person receiving the healthcare?  Is it the insurance industry?  Is it the stock holders of the drug manufacturers?  The system is designed to suck money and for cell-phones, that's fine -- but for healthcare that you can't reasonably choose to do without, it isn't the best system.

It works ok for a while but then the system bleeds you dry.  That's what we're experiencing right now.  We pay way too much for our level of care.
