Reading an article on Splinter News about how someone got sick and American healthcare basically kills people and is super vicious

and I am reminded of the time the hospital refused to let me leave the ER (after 30 minutes of non-treatment, mind you) until I put down a "deposit" of 50% of my bill... which they didn't know the amount of.

So they asked me for 50% of an unknown amount and blocked the door until I paid something.

@guerrillarain It's weird to think that if I were an American I'd have died last May, but there it is...

@munsi It's so fucking confounding that there are places with real, working healthcare and we are still barreling towards letting people die.

True fact. I do wonder how much the average person in the US understands that their healthcare is a literal nightmare scenario that left-of-centre political parties use to frighten voters. Cuz from the coverage the issue gets that exports beyond your borders I get the impression a lot of people don't.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE AND CAN I REASONABLY MOVE THERE??

My healthcare situation is an absolute nightmare. Being type 1 diabetic shouldn't be this expensive.

Canada, and maybe? I'm really not sure how that works, but I feel like if you have a job lined up they can rush things through in that regard. I'd highly recommend it, at any rate, I can only imagine the expense having to pay for something like that yourself.
