I thought this was kind of funny.  I knew the US healthcare system was bad........  I just can't believe he tried especially with a butter knife....

How does this suggest the US healthcare system is bad?

It is true that this doesn't specifically target the US' health care in any way, but reason suggests that the man could not get his procedure as fast as he wanted due to either money or bad service from whoever he was seeking medical help from. This could not have happened if the US either had a cheaper, more accessible way for Americans to keep themselves healthy, or if the man was richer. Whichever is easier I suppose.

Edit: It could also have been prevented if the man was smarter :P
