    If you were poor and given an opportunity to become a doctor but get paid only as much as a housekeeper, would you do it?

    Luigi should be freed because the subject in question decides to pay the doctor far more than a nurse but at the same time they take an even larger chunk for doing nothing at all. All this does is ensures the patient dies or becomes a working slave or dies slowly after becoming homeless.

    If you make 200k you’ll still find it hard to pay 10k a month or whatever these people want. If you make 50k and are sole provider you’re so very much screwed.

      Even if you make 200k, paying 10k a month would be just about your entire take-home pay.

      I do not make that much, but my insurance pays out something close to $300K a year for my normal monthly meds. Chronic conditions in the US ftw.
