1. Script
   "So, I had hernia surgery one month ago today and we just got the hospital bill in the mail. Let's just start with anesthesia - $6,437. Laboratory - $261. Today's medical surgical supplies and devices, so I guess like maybe a scaffold and the actual mesh they put in me - $13,777.02. I bet you could get that cheaper on Amazon. This one's the real kicker, operating room services - $56,652. These surgeons are making bags. Pharmacy - $2,641.90. Finally, the recovery room - $6,000. Kidding me, dude? All of this for a grand total of $85,768.92. Now, Abby's Insurance got denied, so they subtracted $76,703. I'm so confused, how can they just take that much off because the insurance guys are done? That's because they're making up all these prices. Comment down below if healthcare is free in your country because we need to move."

3. My Story
   "I visited the dentist for a routine teeth scaling, expecting a straightforward appointment. However, during the examination, the dentist discovered a cavity. He suggested, 'Let's just start with the scaling and then address the cavity.' The added cost of the cavity treatment took me by surprise. 'These dental expenses really add up,' I thought to myself. Despite the unexpected expense, I knew it was necessary for my dental health. As I left the clinic, I couldn't help but feel a bit dismayed at the higher bill, yet relieved that my teeth were well taken care of."
