18. "Patient Portion"
Really sticks in my craw. The reason any health care system that still has the insurance companies embedded up to their necks will fail the very people who need it is because the damned "Patient Portion" is a huge fucking X in the equation. And X can mean any amount they want it to. :grr: And what happens if you've already gone bankrupt from medical bills, have more medical bills accumulated? Are these current medical bills going to be counted when it is determined whether you can afford medical insurance or not?

Sorry for the rant. Just kinda down about the whole thing. :(
