As to your other point...

Ok if they shouldn't take your word for it then they should tell you stuff like "Oh, that? That's an obvious mistake we'll change it. Don't worry about it" Yet a started a detailed file because I got so damn tried of hearing that then getting contacted by a collection agency. By the time I was due to go to court, which never happened- they settled, that file was as thick as a average dictionary.

You want to believe your industry is by and large a helpful customer friendly business by all mens do so. Personally I don't and won't buy that pig. I was and I know a lot of other people who have been screwed raw, sans lube, by your industry.

I keep hearing people talk about how the US has the best health care system in the world, like that's some fact not in question. Sure the US has some of the best hospitals, wealthy people from all over the world travel to seek care from them. But that's not the care most people have access to, how many times have we've seen the videos of people being pushed out onto skid row because the hospital wouldn't care for patients? Or the people dying in the ER after waiting 17+ hours. I currently live in Mexico and the health care system here is (yep just my opinion, no data here) hands down better then that of the US' My doctor, very capable and well trained, makes house calls if needed, spends about 45 mins with me each visit... total cost $60 USD a visit. If I just need an Rx refill no charge. I if can't find my Rx, she'll personally call around and find it for me. I'm a US citizen, I pay full price for my health care here. Mexicans are charged a yearly premium based on income. Some pay nothing others pay as much as 500 USD a year. After they pay their premium there are no co-pays or deductibles. Get hurt or sick, go the doctor and it's covered.
