Glad to hear you'll be okay.

You don't have to convince me. I lived in Canada for a while and had a friend who had kidney failure, spent a year in hospital and then years more on dialysis and it never cost her a cent. Meanwhile, I fell and hurt my knee this year. Saw 2 doctors and had a bunch of x-rays. Nothing was done to me other than a simple wrap put on and it cost me $200! And I'm on Medicare.

Hopefully enough people will have the good sense to do something smart about this in 2020. But I won't hold my breath.
