Everything related to healthcare costs in the US should be taken with a pound of salt. The system is like Whose Line is it Anyway? Everything is made up and the costs don't matter.
This article focuses on how turning over Roe vs Wade is leaving families with fewer options and greater burdens, especially those without insurance, but without systemic reform - things like removing unnecessary middlemen, setting reasonable limits on services and medications, giving paid leave for illness and family care, and removing the necessity of employment from getting affordable care - people will grow ever burdened by the corporate healthcare system.
It's truly a shame when you go to the doctors in the US it feels more like negotiating with a used car salesman than it does getting health care.
