This is what pisses me off about Americans and privilege

Imagine being so privileged

Imagine having access to healthcare for free. Access to strong pain medication. you don’t have to pay before going you just go and deliver a baby for free. until you get the bill, and technically you really don’t even have to pay it.

the only repercussion of not paying your bill is it affecting your credit. And actually you can pay as little as $10 a month to collections for it not to affect your credit if you call billing and work something out


And then stupid ass Americans go and do stupid shit like go have their baby in a pool of water at home because it’s “natural” aka now The next trend of what people are doing and posting on social media for something to talk about.

A nurse and I were discussing this at work and we were talking about how stupid and ignorant this is . Because imagine if the mother or the baby have some sort of an issue and they’re not at the hospital to immediately address it and they die 🤷‍♂️

I had a natural birth at home
So I can post some cute pictures and an inspirational post for Instagram

Imagine if it were true. Healthcare isn't free.

@MasterLee which part are you saying is untrue? Not arguing, just asking

Healthcare isn't free.

@MasterLee you don’t have to fork over money as soon as you are being operated on. Is what I meant. And technically you don’t ever have to pay. It will affect your credit but you don’t HAVE to pay it

There are countries where people die in the waiting room because they have no money to pay upfront. We don’t have that misfortune thankfully. That’s what I meant when I said it was free

@DeluxedEdition I had to pay over $200k for my wife's heart attack

@MasterLee that’s insane, did she not have insurance?
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@MasterLee I accumulated over $100,000 for my broken leg when I was 18 that I never paid a cent on.

I’m sorry to hear about your wives heart attack. I hope she’s doing better now
