re: #47 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

My response, when I’m told by some flag-waving moron about how America has “the best medical service in the world,” is to point out that it’s the best if you can afford it. If you’ve got the money or the connections, you can live virtually forever (or at least until your money runs out). If you’ve got neither, then your only choice is to pray to God you don’t get sick. Cause if you do, then you’re SOL.

I was reading that the vast majority of bankruptcy filings in the US are due to medical bills.
