What amazes me is Americans doing this to themselves. Literally acting against their own best interests, putting their lives and wellbeing in the hands of companies only concerned about profit.

And then having to send emails back and forth for months talking to several people, taking days off work and spending hours on the phone for clearance to watch stranger things and having it be denied because of some obscure reason that is going to take you several more days off work to try to get clearance to watch the show again
And if you don't watch Stranger Things, you die.
Yep because you got fired for missing too much work and lost your Netflix. This was Netflix’s plan the entire time
All this while being sick like a dog.
Last time I had a surgery, I wrote "by participating in this surgery, all participants confirm they are covered under bcbs, and agree to waiver payment if not" right below the surgery site.
The doctor got a kick out of it, says apparently I 'got' one of his aides, who saw it, said his coverage was lapsed, and ask if a patient could do that. The doctor said he made him stand in the corner for 30 mins while they did my shoulder repair.
American health insurance? That's not how it works in other countries
But hey, my doctor gets to brag about the multiple properties he owns while he barely pays attention to what I'm talking to him about. It's a great system for doctors.
I don't know if that's the doctor, but definitely the CEO of the insurance company
Little bit of column a, lot of column B
Virtually all of our politicians love it.
I stopped paying for health insurance years ago, no way I can afford it now. I just get it through my state system.
Just imagine living in a first world country where they provide free Netflix instead of maintaining an insanely large military.

Americans are amazing. Their healthcare system is literally killing them and ruining their families, and they keep talking about how bad "socialism" is...
The amount of bullshit this people buy is incredible.
