Stop using the healthcare system. I know that's not an option for a lot of people, but as a fairly healthy young person with means to stay healthy, I'd rather be dead at 30 than go anywhere near a health"care" facility and potentially ruin everything I've made in life. They want to treat this like a perfectly elastic market, fuck 'em. They're not gonna exploit me for my labor then scare me into submission into giving it back via dumb quacks.
That’s definitely the conundrum - ordinarily the answer would be to stage a boycott but this is a service that is literally life or death for so many and boycotting isn’t an option for them. I had to get stitches this week and wound up paying $250 out of pocket because my health insurance couldn’t get my info fast enough. They eventually compensated me a few days later but what if I just didn’t have $250 at that moment and had to wait for my ins company to get their shit together? I could have been at serious risk of losing the finger I wounded if it became infected, or worse.
