    A woman got her leg caught in the gap between an Orange Line train and the platform, cutting her leg to the bone — and then begged for those who helped her not to call an ambulance because she couldn't afford it. https://bit.ly/2KtCmMz pic.twitter.com/bAWqyNT5IR

        Tell me you're kidding!! The last time I called an ambulance it cost $45. Emergency care... Free. Pain meds... Free. 3 x-rays... Free. Diphtheria and tetanus shot... Free. I can't even imagine having to worry like that.

        One time they mistakenly sent me the bill when I had my daughter... $400 for (1) 800mg ibuprofen. Over $50,000 and even more if you have surgery.

        It's not even socialist to have health care that costs an amount people can afford. It's humane. If someone has the ability to save your life, I don't think they should have the right to charge you ridiculous amounts. They put a high price on life and health and it's insane.

        You'd think that people who get into medicine want to help others, not rob them blind. The American system is heartless and backwards.

        The marketplace has expensive premiums and deductibles. But based on your salary, you can qualify for plans that are cost-effective. There was a time I had to utilize it. So the excuse of, "I can't afford health care in Mass." is a lie.

        Actual coverage of plans and the ability to pay? Prescription costs? No credit? No job?

        Yes. I utilized a plan shortly after college. I was making very little and needed healthcare. I paid very little a month and pretty much had everything covered.
