The point I&#x27;m making is that prices are high but we are getting valuable things in return for high prices. I.e., we pay 5x the cost for 10x the value. Prices are high not due to inflation or someone getting ripped off, but because we want to buy awesome yet expensive things.<p>I.e., what I&#x27;m disagreeing with is the contention that &quot;medication and care where you live is too expensive&quot;.<p>(Jacquesm is also assuming I lived in the US last year when I had my surgery, but in fact I was homeless and spent most of my time overseas.)
