Probably something provided in Europe for free. At least for citizens. I heard americans have to pay even for cast when they break bones.
I had a hernia and spent a third of my income on health insurance but still has to shell out 16000 from my own pocket for non emergency hernia surgery.
I hope the copycats make the job of "C-Suite executive at HMO" an unfillable position, but more likely this will finally get the GOP interested in gun control.
In Russian it's called "расстрельная должность", which means position, where firing squad eventually visits you.
Generally in English they'd usually be called "A Patsy" or "Strawman" - someone disposable to do the unpleasant work, whom nobody will particularly miss.
That's not what I meant. Position, not person, which everyone leaves by being killed(in soviet times) or imprisoned(now).
EDIT: or falling out of window
We have to pay for seeing the nurse before we even get to the doctor and caste part of it. Those are all extra on top of it.
