This meme has no relevance to anything. If it was trying to imply that the USA is cut off from healthcare, it’s totally inaccurate. There are thousands of hospitals and doctor’s offices all over the USA, and Americans utilize them all the time to obtain the healthcare that they need.

Even Americans with no money have options for free healthcare, and here is a link that can be used to access it:

Why are you this way?

Just why?

I’m just here to spread some facts to fight back against this ridiculous doomerism. It is a straight-up fact that Americans do have access to healthcare, and this meme is making a joke to imply that we do not. It’s fucking stupid and being a doomer is worse than useless.

Hi there. Had kidney failure for about 8 years.

There was this one medication I badly needed to control secondary hyperparathyroidism. Literally used all avenues, and couldn’t get it approved or covered, other than by paying around 800$ for a single dose. I even had private insurance still at the time btw. The alternative was a surgery to remove a parathyroid gland which would then lead me to having other severe health complications if I got a kidney transplant. You know, due to now missing an organ.

Second treatment in Finland when I was just VISITING, not even a resident yet - "oh, you’re PTH levels are extremely high. We’re going to give you “medicine I’ve been trying to get for months”.

Just like that. No struggle even. Cost? 25$, and that includes the superior diafiltration treatment (USA only has dialysis, despite it giving poorer quality of life and lowering life expectancy, thanks to lobbying from DaVita.

Anyway, fuck you 🙂

Well fuck you too, you sick bastard.
