Woke up nauseaous, vomited about five times, and the last one included blood so I went to the emergency room. I spoke to a doctor for less than five minutes and received no imaging. There was one routine blood draw and an IV with saline and Zofran.

God damn America. $3042 to walk in the door. I could have literally flown back to England and been seen at an NHS hospital for a 5th of the cost.

    Or the argument of “I don’t want to pay for your problems.”

    But you literally are paying for my problems, because that’s how insurance works lol. But you’re paying more than most sane people of the world because some insurance company says you’re not actually injured.

      Obviously, the libertarian solution is to get ride of Government Mandated Insurance. Once everyone pays with cash (or chickens) the system will magically unfuck itself.
