Folks who aren’t from America and especially folks with socialized health care: Ya’ll have no idea how hard we’re taking it up the ass on health care. Stuff you take for granted. Is America better than some places? Yes. Does it cost someone who doesn’t have eye insurance $1000 for the privilege of clear vision? Also yes. I paid $450 for my glasses WITH insurance and they cost $999.99 without. I don’t have bifocals or anything fancy on them. This is what $1000 glasses look like.
