You spent $1,100 to get sick?

Yeah, really. I was in Walgreens a few days ago and they advertized flu shots for $25.

The Native Americans have their own universal healthcare system, Zeke?

In a manner of speaking, yes.

If you don't mind my asking;

How is it, quality-wise?

Where adequately funded, it's just fine. (In fact, for routine matters it is exceedingly viable.)

But it is somewhat piecemeal in terms of locations and spotty on emergency care due to aging infrastructure and lack of manpower.

No, that's what I pay for medicare Part B and most years all I get out of it is a flu shot - so far they appear to work as I don't get the flu. Something we do not need to mess with, had an Aunt die of it in the 1918 epidemic.
