Unseen JapanPolice arrested a leader in the Yamaguchi yakuza group. His crime? After cutting off his finger - a traditional form of atonement in yakuza circles - he lied & used national health insurance for treatment. It’s illegal to use national health insurance for self-inflicted injuries.
(For those who may ask - yes, self-harm is covered under national health insurance if diagnosed as the result of a mental health issue.)
Misuse Case@unseenjapan That particular rule against using national insurance for self-harm injuries sounds like it was written specifically to keep yakuza from getting benefits for doing yakuza stuff
@MisuseCase Yep I would not doubt that’s the case. Same reason nearly every contract you sign here forces you to acknowledge you’re not a member of a 暴力団. It’s an easy way to put gangsters in jail.
molotovs against malarkey@unseenjapan what if the self-harm involved ordering chicken sashimi?
asking for a friend 😇
@proben morally I think that’s on you 😅
