If you ever had an extended stay in a hospital after a surgery, you
would realize that 250k is pretty close to realistic. All I can say
is I'm glad I have insurance.

From a game standpoint, a runner should have insurance too. DocWagon
is a must.

You know, that is something I would like to see in the new edition.
Different services you can buy, like security, health, matrix,
telecom, insurance, etc.

On a similar note, a better explanation of the lifestyles. I would
like to see more of the perks or lack of that are available to each
lifestyle category. Have the lifestyle mean something other than a
maintenance cost, and a roleplay hook. Perhaps social modifiers, or
availability modifiers, or some such.

I would like to see an update to everyday life in 2058 (2059 by this
is out, I guess). Entertainment, personal electronics, like trid,
simsense, etc. I would like to finally find out just what a telecom
is, does, and looks like.

Sorry for the rambling. I'm half asleep.
