Yup, I guess all those people with medical debt are just fuckin liars, and we actually do have free healthcare
The problem is that both are telling the truth. Some hospitals have discounts for low income people and others don't. Some medical emergencies are easy to write off while others aren't. If you don't have decent insurance in the US it becomes kind of a lottery system, which in the end makes it harder to change voters opinions.
Or if you do have decent insurance and also have cancer.
Medical needs extend far beyond the occasional emergency
It is "free" healthcare if you just don't pay! Tapping head.
Just waiting for the day when my Dr hands me a screen and tells me it's gonna ask me a question before looking away like a dip shit right before writing a prescription
