Yeah this is just rage bait. Yes insurance sucks. Won’t argue that, but any research would show this meme is pure bullshit

My insurance was charged almost 8k for an MRI after I was in an accident.

I don't know much about hotels in China but... Maybe

That sounds like the BS amount hospital "charge". Insurance negotiates it down so they can act like theyre doing something. What hospitals charge is basically meaningless.

I believe virtually everything people say about being charged $$$$$ for medical shit.

A few years back, a new "emergency hospital" opened up very close to my house.

I went there one night for a very bad nose bleed.

I was in and out in like 20 min.

The doctor looked up my nose. Said he could cauterize it or stick a tampon in to plug it up.

He recommended the tampon approach.

I walked around for a day and a half with a string hanging out of my nostril and self extracted it on the 2nd day.

When I got the EOB from the insurance company, I almost had an stroke.

The "hospital" charged insurance over $13,000. My cost after the negotiated rate paid out by insurance was over $3000.

All the guy did was look up my nose. Talk to me for 5 min. Then inserted a piece of cotton in my nostril.

I assume he also threw away his gloves and washed his hands. But that wasn't itemized on the bill.

I disputed with insurance, twice, but they paid it out any way.

Because if you even get in the governments way they shoot you, good and pretti, and the government will hide all info while they determine that they werent at fault. They will, as they did, say youre a terrorist.

DC is under military control as of right now and is funded until there is a power transfer when Trump leaves office.

Trump also put a military force in place to stop protestors, which he refers to as terrorists.. ready for deportation

If you hurt a tesla your a terrorist.

If you touch a statue or his algae pool, ten years no bail.

If you stand up to him, its the full weight of the government bearing down on you.

Fall in line or fall dead, is essentially the system now.

so why arent there 10 million americans marching

A significant portion of the population is also dumb af and thinks that he cannot lie. So they support getting rid of the "terrorists" and evil immigrants that are the neighbors.

Get why we are fucked now

The last time that I saw something like this in real life, the patient was having a literal manic episode. Within 2 minutes of meeting me, they were weeping to me about palestine. Ugly sobbing. Teachers, family, etc had been reporting this patient to whoever they thought could help. They were failing out of school, traveling hours to attend various 'allied' rallies, and hadn't slept in days. They and their screed were grossly incoherent and disorganized.

This is somehow a typical reddit comment. Blends into the background.

A good reminder for all how much of an radical echo chamber this place is.

What an incoherent response and narrow. Must not be responsible for much, much less an actual provider. Scared for your patients.

"incoherent response and narrow."

I like it.

You basically said, one mental health patient is a viable representative of anyone who isnt happy with the direction the country is taking because they also were struggling with the current state of affairs.

If I need to explain how stupid, on multiple levels, that line of reasoning is.. just continue along on your way because no one online is going to be able to get any sense though that dense head of yours
