"You were supposed to be too shackled by the minimum wage jobs we allow you to have two of and kept fearful of loosing your worthless health insurance to run around and protest when we abuse you some more, damnit! Who allowed you out?"
On god, US is such a dystopia I always remain flabbergasted when people talk about the american dream. My third world country (Romania) is a shithole but at least I can hope to pay for serious medical illnesses if I go jobless.
LMAO I'm from the American Midwest and I HAVE a job and can't afford a serious medical illness.
I broke a tooth in November and I still can't afford to get it fixed.
Have you considered pulling yourself up by your toothstraps?
Man this breaks my heart, I wish american people would wake up and stop voting against their own interests…
So do a huge portion of Americans.
I have good health insurance, but still resist going to the doctor out of fear of debt entrapment. It is paranoia, but looking at other people, the fear takes hold of me. I fear poverty more than death, because life without the nice things ain't worth living with.
Travel to Mexico, get your tooth fixed, go back home
If I didn't live paycheck to paycheck, sure.
Damn :/
Yep. Yay murica
IDK, my mom did this for a front tooth crown, and it looks awful. she regrets it to this day
That honestly makes me feel a lot better about the cavity that has rotted through nearly the entire molar.. it’s gunna need extraction which I can’t afford, because the alternative is like.. losing my jaw or something..?
I’ve been sitting on doing anything about it for years because I can’t afford to fix it..
And sure sure I know dental isn’t covered by insurance because luxury bones… whomever can afford to have them has them..
But like.. I’d really like to get that tooth extracted.
I’m sorry we are in a shitty boat friend. I hope eventually we can at least patch it so we can keep above water..
