"I can't afford the ambulance" - let that sink in for a second, fellow Europeans! How can emergency services not be provided freely, in the wealthiest country in the world?

America where your first words after a crash is "I can't afford a ambulance"



I though Dr. Big Boobs was going to slap him in the face with her endowment. Then she says "can I play with you?"

so i got my cast off.

i liked all the docs and nurses, but i didnt look up reviews of the docs.

last time i waited 45 minutes or so for an xray, and about 2 hours including the xray to see the doc and physio guy.

the physio is free too. i just have to drive to the next city to do it. i could go to a private physio near by but it would cost some money, maybe ill give them a call. the physio appointment starts 5 days from now.

you dont pay more or less for being sick more often.

hypocrite obama now coming out for medicare for all.

on a side note, i just realized the physio system here is wierd. for me, the government covers a reduced rate of $30 per visit (the rest covered by work insurance if you have one) at the local private physio place. but the hospitals offer free physio which i didnt know.

today a lady came to pick up her insulin which was v expensive and she told me, “sorry I’m late, I had to save up to come get it. I’ve gone 3 days without insulin already, I’m surprised I’m not dead.” Welcome to American healthcare

Hillary Clinton, whose net worth is $45 million and who said on the campaign trail that single-payer "will never, ever come to pass," asks for crowdfunding assistance for her former staffer's medical expenses.
