    My country’s “evil socialist healthcare dystopia” is far from perfect, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

    I didn’t learn wtf “copay” was until last year.

    I remember seeing the fox news manufactured outrage about “death panels” when Obama care was the big talking point an eternity ago. I always found it hard to understand how that’s not an apt description of a hospital board of directors with a profit incentive.

    You don’t like paying exorbitant monthly fees to pay more unknown fees on top of your co-pay when you decide to use it?

      this is a place for appreciating comics, unless you have evidence of something that breaks the rules of this comm/blahaj.zone then try to keep negative comments to yourself.

      Damn, even the Lemmy.world comic haters are coming here too. Can’t you just stay in the bad community where you can circlejerk about how bad women are?

    Yeah even with the most honest insurance company you can’t make a claim “in case you get injured.” Is not a bank account lol, it’s to pool risk. That’s just fundamentally not what insurance is.

    Edit: oh shit I didn’t read, my bad.

      Reread the comic, specifically the first half of that panel.

      Hey insurance, I’m injured and need some of that money I give you in case I get injured.

        Shhhhhhhhh… they’re trying to sound intellectual while commenting on a comic that has a butt plug as one of the side characters…
