Predatory crippling medical debt and the fear of it. Last surgery I had in the ER (acute appendicitis) in 1994 I was being charged $13 per pair of Tylenol 3s pain pills. By comparison for a bottle of 10 from corner pharmacy (with prescription) was $8. Pair of disposable gloves $10. Per pair. That's all I remember on the bill because as a 20yrld with zero life skills I knew I would never pay that.
