7. Insurance. Because they'll pay for preventative, but not diagnostic.

Found that out with my colonoscopy, they'll pay for the every five years, but if the doctor wants to run another because of anemia a year later, it is coded differently and there's a huge "co-insurance" because I guess I have to have more skin in the game if it may be my fault something goes wrong outside the annual maintenance plan.
It's like for profit health insurance is a warranty health plan, and everything outside the warranty needs to cost you, because it must be your fault you didn't take care of yourself and developed a health problem.
And I supposedly have good health insurance through my employer.
Still going broke due to medical costs...
