I figured that tops this was going to be 25 grand. Well, there goes my Viper until next year. Seriously, this is just ridiculous. I wonder if it is this expensive in other Countries?

Well, that's the main reason most Americans are bankrupt, or in finacial straits. The medical industry. But if you aren't an American Citizen, with no ID, or even speak the language, you can get your medical for free, since the hospitals and clinics can't refuse service by Federal Law. And that's why the medical costs are through the roof. Somebody has to pay for the freebees, and it's the good hardworking citizens that get stuck holding the bill. As usual again.
