Hero!!!

Oh, that breaks my heart. 💔

Shades of Walter White being forced to do manual labour at the carwash to compensate for his miserable teacher's salary. You can kinda see why he ended up turning evil.

There are no words to describe how much I hate the insurance industry. And I live in a country with universal healthcare, so l'm not directly affected, but they're predatory soulless c***s who feast on people's tragedies. It's currently happening in Valencia. Insurance companies won't pay based on a clause of "extraordinary weather phenomenon"

Must be here in America. I understand that one. Painfully so

I've requested to be billed for my deductible after being hospitalized in an emergency, and the hospital allowed it. They didn't let me die of asthma while I scrambled to dig out the cash (also in the US). I wonder if that patient asked to speak to accounting for a payment arrangement. Some people, when pressured, don't know they can press back for assistance. A fracture needing surgery sounds like an emergency to me.

So why didn't you offer to waive the deductible or offer a payment plan?

Tell him to move to California and get Medi-cal. I am a teacher and couldn't afford my cancer surgery on my 60% health insurance coverage Blue Cross plan so I quit work, got on Medi-cal, got cancer treatments, then dropped my Medi-cal to resume work again. If his income is zero, he qualifies. This is why I'm not a Republican.

Well your clinic could offer some sort of hardship pricing. I had to go to the ER last March and I knew the problem, but was in a state where I needed a doctor. 8k. I still have to pay 1300. Un real.

UK, take heed. And fight for our NHS.

Why couldn’t you let him pay out his deductible over time? The medical provider is the one demanding the full payment up front. I get that deductibles are terrible and insurance has some blame, but medical providers in the US have done an amazing job shifting that blame off of them when they are the ones that are requiring full payment all at once.

One of the biggest shames in the U.S. You know what kind of freedom we want? Freedom from fear of going into soul crushing debt because we get sick or injured and can't afford treatment.

The health care system in the US is broke.

I need to have a cardiac tracker implanted. The first time I was scheduled I found out I had breast cancer and that had to take precedence. Dr scheduled it again and, after adding up all the bills for the cancer treatment and medication, I had to cancel again. I simply couldn't afford any more. I understand this poor patient's fears.

And that's why we have universal healthcare - Not only to help people become healthy again but to also keep them working to pay taxes.

I feel this. I need an implant tooth for one I had to have removed b/c it was so cracked. AFTER insurance, they still want $3000 thereabouts. I'm like yeah no. That's twice what I pay for rent. Sooooo, I can wait till next year when my insurance resets or try to come up with that AND still make my bill payments. (And eat)

Agreed. This was a s****y move.

And this is going to continue in the US. So sorry for you guys. 😣

Thank you. This is really a great explanation. Putting things in perspective...

Even if I wasn't poor I would buy most of my clothes from the op shop (thrift store). It is pretty common where I live (except maybe in certain suburbs) for people (mostly women) to brag about the deals they have gotten from the op shop. I have a handbag shaped like a book that has gotten a lot of compliments and at least twice it has led to me chatting about deals from op shops with random women at the bar.

That is so sad.

that off-duty officer and the participants of burying him should face justice👍😢

Every day I'm closer to naming and shaming (parts of) some cultures, including my own

very sad, those parts of the world must be dangerous

Texas? Sounds about right.

The same would probably happen in Britain.

F**k Iraq.

My Roomba threw a wheel. When I found out a new wheel would be essentially the cost of a new Roomba, I gave it away to be stripped for parts. Not buying another one of those ripoff machines.

WHAT

People are arseholes.

That happened years ago at a festival near toronto. No outside drinks and they ran out of water to sell in a heat wave and had to use hoses to help people and many ended up sick... many venues changed their policy after that to allow sealed bottles of water in.

F**k this guy.

Disgusting! I don't how old he is now but he still looks like a little kid to me. Imagine some 40 year old dude saying that to her kid infront of her, just vile.

I hope he found better friends than you guys.

This is the one time I wish heaven and hell were real things.

At least she didn't abort or use contraception, right? /s

This one doesn't fit. It's sad, but it gives you hope for humanity rather than crushing it.

Where did a kindergartener learn how to make a shiv?

God. I never was interested in spelunking in the first place but now I'm anti-interested. And I'm not even claustrophobic.

Hopefylly three months before cancelled wedding. 🤢 Think about planning your perfect day and finding out your soon to be wife is a disgusting pedophile. 🤮 Poor kid, hope he's getting the therapy he needs.

Truly worrying

The LV logo on the profile is saying "I NEED A RICH GUY"

Reminds me of an episode of Law & Order SVU, which was based on a true story.

It doesn’t seem like it was destroyed after they were evicted; it looks like they were causing damage throughout the entire duration of their lease.

WTF?

I can't take reading any more of these.

The good news is, they didn't get away with it. They were arrested.
