        @paulg stitch: $1. Knowing how to do it so you don't bleed out or require antibiotics: $499.

        @asmartbear nonsense, by that logic what is a reasonable upper bound? Ability to pay and price insensitivity drive healthcare prices.

        @jdunck either it was a joke, or I'm a colossal idiot defending our broken health care system. Sadly for us both, you assume the latter.

        @asmartbear I've seen similar responses from lots of people, especially re skilled labor costs. Sorry I didn't recognize as a joke.
