Footnotes
    gollark: Also hard to define properly.
    gollark: That's very broad.
    gollark: Insurance providers make those decisions *too*, but opaquely.
    gollark: The US system would probably be better if it actually had incentives for costs to not be insanely high.
    gollark: Overly expensive as a % of GDP, convoluted and bureaucratic, not even functional in many important cases.
