One of the most heartbreaking things I’ve read in our ER bill database:
A 2-year-old eats a dangerous drug. Poison control tells her mom to take the toddler to the ER immediately.
But the family is already in debt from another ER bill. They can’t afford another one. (1/2)
Here’s what the mom does:
She drives to the ER. But she doesn't go inside.
Instead, she and her toddler sit in the parking lot for hours. They watch the Little Mermaid on loop.
The mom thinks: I can go inside if she has a seizure. Otherwise, I can’t afford it. (2/2)
(2/2).
Luckily, the toddler was fine. They never went into the emergency room, and eventually went home.
I think about this particular family a lot. Their story shows how high prices don’t just mean big medical bills. They also make Americans wary of using our health system. (3/2)

This really should be the end of the myth of "Trump the Negotiator", because what this really is showing us is the nature and limits of Trump's ability to make deals.
The truth is, Trump is a terrible negotiator. His dealmaking "prowess" consists of getting other people to agree to things in good faith while he himself is negotiating in bad faith.
Get people to sign, get people to buy in, get people invested... and by the time they realize you're not coming through, they're already in up to their necks with you and they realize if they don't bail you out, they're the ones who drown.
That's the Trump way.
