More even than that. This is Institutionalized Cheating. Daylight robbery.
And since it's the norm -- in America, nowhere else in the world, there's exceptionalism for you -- Americans are blind to it.
Blind and robbed blind.

Nose broken 3 times -- at 16, boxing, at 45 and 55, running into glass walls -- I had 2 ops in Belgium... First failed, still a problem with septum, second succeeded. Both times, inpatient. Cost to me: negligible.
Normal in Europe.

Moral of the Moral:
Dominance of the Unfittest.
A society governed by social Darwinism, "Survival of the fittest", is divisive, makes competition-for-its-own-sake the sole governing principle, totally ignoring the parallel reality of symbiosis, interdependence, every factor that connects and unites us.
Peter, there's a name for that: kakistocracy (I remember it because it was one of the words in a charity spelling bee my team won). Government by the least suitable citizens of a state.
I was an outpatient for sure. Just in and out.
Good grief!! Simple procedure = paying through the nose! Sorry, couldn’t help myself!😆👃🏼

And since it's the norm -- in America, nowhere else in the world, there's exceptionalism for you -- Americans are blind to it.

We've had one on an off for decades.
Yes.
Thanks for the reminder!
"Government by the worst."
I've never used the term, but... what we are getting today are the worst of the worst. Guaranteed.
Those for whom Wealth = Wisdom and ME = GOD.
If the combination's not Satanism, what is?
Yes and as FDR stated - when a democratic form of government is unable to deliver for the majority of citizens, it is ripe for take over.
My junior high brain has just christened this "kakastocracy".
