My uncle had a heart attack.
He survived.
He wishes he hadn't seen the bill.
Ambulance: $3,200.
ER: $44,000
Surgery: $180,000.
ICU: $22,000 per day. For 4 days.
Rehab: $1,400/day.
Insurance negotiated it down to $97,000 out of pocket.
He's 65.
He'll die still paying this off.
in every other developed country, this bill is $0.
We don't have a healthcare system.
We have a hostage situation.

@MetamateDaz Maybe you should seek out employment that doesn't force you to cohabitate

@amelia_tweetz Why do you fuckwits think that everything would be free? You would still be paying for it because they would just raise taxes on everything to offer those "free" services

@davidpattersonx Your logic, that is fair as both are paying 30% in taxes...doesn't matter if they receive the same government services

@AngelaBelcamino Funny how it is trust the science until the science is inconvenient

In my area, In-N-Out and Chipotle are hiring around $20/hour for new workers.
Let’s say you even land full-time at 40 hours/week: $20/hour = $800/week
That’s $3,467/month before taxes.
After just 12% in federal taxes, you’re left with about $3,051/month take-home.
Now here’s the reality: Average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000/month.
So even working full-time in fast food, 65% of your income disappears to rent alone.
That leaves you with about $1,050/month for:
• food
• transportation
• insurance
• phone
• savings
• emergencies
This isn’t a “budgeting problem.”
This is a cost of living crisis.
Working full time should never mean barely surviving.

@Michaeldudufudu What do yoy get out of being envious of people work for everything they have?

@MatrixMysteries No sue was breaking down and throwing a fit because she couldn't go to Coachella

American works full time, she doesn’t own a home, “I don't own anything crazy”
She just did her taxes and “I literally sh*t my f*cking pants”
Despite working full time, not making any big purchases, she has no money but owes $17,000 in taxes
She says if she were to pay her taxes, she would actually be negative money after working all year just from paying bills and taxes
“I just wanna know how the f*ck does one owe so much money in taxes when they got no money?”
As of 2026, data shows the average American does not have any substantial amount of money left at the end of the year after bills, taxes, and typical spending
In fact the number is so low, that after taxes the average American typically only is able to save 4% of their money after bills

@MetamateDaz Problem is that all 5 of those are personal choices that don't need to exist until you are financially stable! Quit fucking whining and work harder

@MatrixMysteries Its a choice she voluntarily made to get a useless degree
