Insurance is such a scam. You pay THOUSANDS every year, then when you want to use it, you have to pay EVEN FUCKING MORE. WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN PAYING FOR THEN??
Fun fact: On top of all that, you pay more in taxes for health care than any other country, even those where health care is entirely financed by tax money.
My supervisor at work has 2 broken teeth and one is cracking, he can’t have food on his right side of his mouth and about once a month has go eat soft foods because the cracked tooth on his left side hurts again.
Another coworker has a knife wound because he managed to slice his arm open with his own folding knife (not suicidal just stupid), and he’s just self-treating even though it looks infected.
I have had bronchitis multiple times in my life when I didn’t have any insurance and even when I was so weak it took all my strength to crawl to the bathroom, going without eating for several days because I can’t make it downstairs to the kitchen, because just the urgent care visit would have sent me into years of debt.
My sister ignored signs of cancer until her daughter asked her to go to the doctor. It could have been operated on if she had gone earlier. Now it’s chemo and fingers crossed.
This shithole country kicks people when they’re down andat least 1/3 of the population is polishing the boot as the rich are kicking us.
A lot don’t get insurance and just hope they don’t die?
sad, and probably true :/
Enraging and 100% true. About 11% of working age Americans have no health insurance.
Consider also how many people have health insurance but cant afford to use it?

But hey, you go from having to pay 20 lifetimes worth of crippling debt to only 5 lifetimes worth of crippling debt, look on the bright side
I’d love to see the venn diagram of people who 1) don’t have health insurance and 2) don’t support universal healthcare
Its definitely not a circle, but the middle portion is big enough to make me lose hope for humanity.
Leopards be feasting
Literally true. I’ve lost two friends this way.
Literally, yes.
