My healthcare. I might as well prepare for death.

One of the main things I hear about the USA, as well as guns @bijouxbroussard
@Vetrov It’s the truth, unfortunately.

The ease with which an American can acquire a firearm is only exceeded by the speed with which a homeless, destitute Australian gets wheeled into emergency surgery 100% free @bijouxbroussard
@Vetrov And even here, the chance that one might need to shoot someone is exponentially less than eventually needing to see a doctor. 🙄

@bijouxbroussard I read stories about middle class people getting bills for hundreds of thousands of dollars for medical expenses and think they must be making it up!
@Vetrov Sadly, it’s true. When I volunteered at the shelter I encountered all kinds of people who had lost jobs because of absenteeism due to illness, then, subsequently, the healthcare that was helping them recover.
