You really think you have an honest mechanic? Lol I thought the joke was that there were none. Doctor's can't give you an estimate precisely because healthcare is regulated out the ass, and at any given time they don't know how much it is going to cost—only that it will be expensive. And it doesn't help the doctor do their job if the person they are helping is aware of the hole they're in. Things would be much cheaper without any government regulation. Look at OKC surgery center. They started accepting cash payments only and no insurance. As a result, the price of surgeries has gone down drastically. You can get a new hip for the cost of a used car.
And you missed my point. Access to cannabis and free cannabis from the government are two very different things. Also, I don't hear of too many people going to France for their exceptional healthcare or benefitting from their miraculous pharma...
