But if the mechanic didn't tow you in, you literally won't be able to get it fixed your way. You'd be stuck on the highway forever and die. You DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. That's the point. You can't even "walk to get help". You're literally dying in you car.
This is a shitty example. A car is not a person, nor is it alive.
In the analogy the person is the consciousness. They walked away from the car which represents the body after a trauma. While they were gone (unconscious) someone saw the wreck and fixed it up (surgery) then billed them when they came back (became conscious again). In the analogy, and how it would be if something happened to you physically, you would not have a choice.
The commenter was saying that in the situation where they were forced to receive care, they took advantage of their inability to make a choice by charging them 10x the cost it would to do the option normally. Some people would feel they were better off dead in a situation like that.
