That's why he deserved nothing less.

Just because it is legal, doesn't mean it isn't punishable.
- Conversely, just because murder is illegal... doesn't mean it's always wrong.
  
  If you kill a man in the heat of battle you’re a hero. If you kill a man in the heat of passion you’re a murderer.

Clearly, being a woman is a pre-existing condition.
ಠ_ಠ
- Things like pregnancy or being a domestic violence victim were considered valid preexisting conditions until they passed Obamacare
  
  Republicans: “A woman’s job in life is to be pregnant.”
  Public: “Ok so you’ll offer support for them, yea?”
  Republicans: “Absolutely fucking not lol”
- How long until Americans make being alive a pre-existing condition
  
  Technically it is.
  I'm not saying that should negate any coverage that you are otherwise entitled to.... Just that living is the root cause of many issues.
  
  I'll try and get a cure for it first.

B-but if we had universal health care we would lose all our FrEeDoM!!1! /edit: left out "if"
- we'd have death panels!
  
  That's technically better than what we have now. All we get is a single jackass deciding whether we die or not.

We should all be playing more Luigi's Mansion. Where's my gamecube?
- Is this code for what I think it is?
  
  We're just talking about videogames.
  
  Yes.

Rape kits aren't free? I figured that because it was a response to a criminal action it counted as more legal than medical... guess you learn something new every day...
BEING RAPED IS A FUCKING ELECTIVE PROCEDURE!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!
- When I applied for a driver's license in Texas, they had a list of things that I could choose to pay extra for, one of which was donating money towards testing rape kits. It still infuriates that they tried to pass that off of random people.
  
  One of the biggest scams the American Government ever pulled, was claiming that its responsibilities were actually that of the citizens, and that anyone who expects the Government to do anything but wield an iron fist is a "Whiny snowflake looking for a free lunch"
- I'm not sure how old the image is, but I know many states (since this shit only happens in one place, it seems) have made laws requiring rape kits to be paid for by the police, even if you don't want a report. I don't exactly remember how it works, but you do have to report the crime to the police, so the hospital paperwork gets handled, but you don't have to have suffer through the interview of a detective or the DA's office.

Rich, "developed" nation
- It is developed,just not in the way you like
  
  Metastasized
  
  The system is working as intended. The rich are getting richer.
  I repeat, the system is working as intended.

- I'm still hungry. One was not enough.

He was just the face of the operation - there's a whole board of directors.
- Plenty more room for adjustments
  
  Lots of room for ammunition too.

So because she likely hasn't the energy to sue, they just lie? Being raped is not an "elective procedure".
- "you could have kept the illegitimate product of rape child"
  
  A rape kit is to collect evidence. It has nothing to do with emergency contraception. The ER can prescribe something like Plan B for that purpose, but it is not something that a "rape kit" does.
  
  Fuck.

Holy shit, what a fucking nightmare

If wishes alone could kill, there wouldn't be a single health insurance executive alive within 24 hours.

I say just don't pay it. Let them threaten you all they want, they can't put you into collections for medical debt. Throw out their letters, block their collection numbers from calling you, don't give those slime balls a fucking penny.
- It's not just about the money, seeing the UHC letter in your mailbox when you are not expecting it will bring back flashes of that night and that trauma.
  It's like knocking on the door of a veteran at random intervals throughout the year too show them pictures of the war. It's dehumanising.
- Is that true?
  
  No, they absolutely put you in collections.
  The debt falls off the credit report in several years.
  It's also cleared by bankruptcy, and they can't go after your relatives for it, excluding your estate, and let's say that if you have medical debt, your estate probably isn't worth pursuing.
  So fuck em.
  Not legal advice.
  
  The system is deeply broken in the USA.
  Not all of the things that are broken about the system are making things worse for the civilians.
- I never pay my medical debt lol. Under 200 won’t effect your credit btw so never pay bills under 200
- First off, how old's that tweet (or whatever platform that is) you're attempting to provide with "expert" legal advice?
  Secondly: That's about the worst legal advice I've ever seen. There are actual productive approaches, but crumbling up the bills and sticking them in your ears, while going lalalalalalala I can't hear you? If you're not even disputing the claim, then you're about to pay the debt somehow, maybe even through seizure of your property.
  
  Not with medical bills. Most of the time you can get away with ignoring them. They sell them to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, you ignore the phone calls or demand proof that you owe the money.

Should have gone with the Jane Doe,

some ceo: 🥱❌‼️😂🤑💲

"Brian Thompson was never satisfied with the Status Quo."
Yeah clearly he wanted something closer to Handmaiden's Tale

Fuck UHC. I hope you’re doing better. If so consider getting a lawyer and/or going to the newspaper if you think you can do it.
No one should have to pay for that. No one.
- Not me but thank you, some poor soul I saw on Bluesky.
