Ain’t nothing mild about how infuriating 21,000 of medical bills for this is.
How is this c/mildlyinfuriating? Ain’t this supposed to be c/nottheonion or something?
Medical bills
Ozzy would approve
Was it wooden or metal?
This makes me mildly infuriating:
The unemployed Massachusetts woman figured she could roll the dice as a healthy woman in her early 30s or at worst, could hastily buy private health insurance in a pinch, Kahn said.
The near-$21,000 burden will probably lead to fewer vacations
A huge percentage of the population doesn’t have enough dispodable income to take a single vacation, yet this FAFO situation “will probably” lead to fewer vacations for this woman?
My empathy meter is at near zero, TBH.
That said, fuck any country for not having a healthcare system available to all without having to cost a few vacations.

I find this odd to believe though. A vacation doesn’t have to be extravagant. A good chunk of U.S states have PTO even and driving to Arizona isn’t that extravagant anyway.
I find this odd to believe though.
Census.gov reports over 12% of people in the States are poor (38 million people).
The NPR reported that half the population can’t afford rent.
A good chunk of the rest are able to afford it, but unlikely to have several thousand laying around for a trip.

I guess it depends on what “vacation” means. In the context of this article, it seems like this lady actually travels for vacation.
If we mean visiting the local beach as a “vacation”, we’ve really been screwed over by wealth hoarders.
Even just the money for a motel along with gas and food is difficult for a lot of people.
She’s an American? Even I know better than to seek lifesaving luxury care at a hospital. Booze and D.O.T. automatic transmission fluid. Fix you right up. Yup. 'Merica.
This isn’t the comic book story I was hoping it’d turn into.
Who are you?
I’m batmouth
Sometimes I forget others really want to keep living. Excited to get the opportunity to pay more rent or wage slave harder for less? I guess some people are like really into that shit. Not me.
i realize that some people sometimes think “i wish i was dead” but i don’t think anyone really goes “i wish i had severe health complications until i die a slow and painful death.”
Sue the bat!
How is this mildly infuriating
in civilized, developed countries, it doesn’t cost a kings ransom to receive necessary medical care.
What a deal on the treatment! /s
Cave, I go.
The ol’ bat in the mouth trick gets me every time.
Is this where they hibernate to in the winter?
If this doesn’t teach her to shut her mouth, nothing will…
