HA! HA! HAHAHAHAHA!
While getting my degree in the states (Maine to be exact) a friend of mine I made there hit his thumb while we were putting shingles on his shed. I mean he really hit the hell out of it! The thing bled, looked three times the normal size and a tinge of black and blue that I have never seen. As I helped him get down and went inside to get the car keys he asked where I was going...to get the keys so we can go to emergency I replied. Nope he couldn't do it, it would cost a few thousand dollars he said and he wasn't covered and couldn't afford it, he broke his thumb and couldn't get it set. In the end his parents had to lend him the money after a few days of unbearable pain. He was also still paying off the bill he incurred when his wife gave birth to their baby girl who was now 5...still paying the bill.
It is sustainable and I'm all for my taxes going to our system. It ain't perfect but man having needed our system on three serious occasions it does a great job.
