I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, @eric3579. The U.S. most certainly has one of the most fucked up healthcare industries in the industrialized world.

But instead of socialism, why not give a free market a chance, instead? What we have now, is anything but a free market. Intellectual Property, regulations, and a lack of any real accurate economic calculations sets the stage for some wide fluctuations in health care (in terms of access, cost, and quality of care). Sadly, while @Yogi is correct in saying that fraud is not unique to socialism, socialism is burdened with a lack of any real economic calculation (as to what things are supposed to cost). Thus, you have the kinds of costs you're describing.

Interestingly, the article stated, "he discovered that health care costs are largely arbitrary, inflated, and unfair. “The health care market is not a market at all. It’s a crapshoot,” he concluded. “Everyone fares differently based on circumstances they can neither control nor predict.”

This isn't surprising. Without a free market, we have no real prices. We don't need socialism. We need economic calculation.

The article goes on to say, "health care costs are largely arbitrary, inflated, and unfair. “The health care market is not a market at all"

I couldn't have said it better. “The health care market is not a market at all."

Or as Hayek says in the "rap battle" music video (floating on the sift somewhere), "We need stable rules and real market prices, so prosperity emerges and cuts short the crisis."

What i find a shame is that they can legally charge me $20,000 for 3 hrs in the hospital because i fell off my bike (which ill be in debt for forever probably), or 750 dollars a month they want to charge me at costco for one of the antidepressants I was taking (paid about 100 a month from Canada for the generic which they cant sell in the US). Also there is the $8500 my dentist wants to replace two of my front teeth which ill need in the next year or two. Personally ill take my chances with socialized medicine as I dont have the kind of money it takes to get better when i get sick or hurt. None of us should have to choose between medical attention/medication and the ability to eat or pay the bills. Thats just the way I see it. Thanks for letting me vent.

edit
Charging a patient $15 for a Tylenol is an absolute legal healthcare fraud(imo), but thats just good American business. http://www.rd.com/slideshows/wildly-overinflated-hospital-costs/#slideshow=slide1
