He makes it sound like the US has universal healthcare.

Dude. Everyone is paying for their own fucking healthcare. If they don't have insurance, they don't get treated.

If they don't have insurance, they don't get treated.

You still get life saving emergency care whether you have insurance or not. It is illegal to turn patients away that will die without care regardless of their medical debts or insurance coverage.

They still bill you, though. It's not like you get that treatment for free.

Assuming they can identify who "you" is.

Yes, dude, I'm aware. Didn't say they did.

The hospital can write it off as charity care... Or send the person to collections if it's over a certain dollar amount

Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.
