Totally unbelievable

Oh, so it takes place in Europe?
- Not unless you guys have annexed Hawaii recently and I missed that in the news.
  
  Well, we know that Obama was born in Hawaii AND he wasn't born in America, therefore Hawaii is not American (... I saw that key and peele sketch yesterday)
  
  I wish. Have wanted to go for a long time.
- Hawaii has a good, free or low cost medicaid program. They also have a state law that makes sure many part time employees get insurance, as well. Somewhere around 95%, of the popualtion, if not more, have some form of insurance.
  
  Has their medicaid program been unaffected by the Trump cuts?
- No Hawaii

Sorry, didn't mean to spoil the movie for you.

is lilo and stitch a metroid prequel?

There’s a new lilo and stitch movie?
- Put it in the pile with the rest of the live action swill Disney is pumping out for no reason whatsoever.
  They know they have the rights to the originals, right? They don't have to make terrible knock-offs.
  
  Got to keep the copyright fresh somehow
- It’s absolute garbage, and the ending literally goes against the theme of the first movie (eg - Nani gives Lilo up)
  
  Oh shit, they had a blue print for success and fuzzy family shit and they could not even get that right?
  
  They also changed David from a cool surfer dude, to a nervous wreck, and Cobra Bubbles from an imposing and intimidating MIB with a history with the galactic president, to just some random MIB that doesn't seem to understand anything that's happening.

Totally just misread that as J lo and stitch.

I haven't seen the movie, but her getting treatment is not any indication that it was or was not payed for and I sincerely doubt they spoke about the financial repercussions of receiving care in this kind of movie or what sort of programs or benefits might offset some or all of the cost.
Did somebody with accounting at the hospital enter the room and say "your treatment is all covered, no problems" and everybody clapped and cheered? Or does the mere mention of a hospital send you into a flying rage?
- There's a story line about how her sister/guardian has to do 3 things by the end of the week - including getting health insurance - or she'll lose custody. Lilo almost drowns before her guardian gets health insurance and gets taken to the hospital. The social worker says that the state will cover the bill, if the sister gives up custody.
  In the future, you should probably watch the movie before commenting - especially when you make an intentionally inflammatory comment about someone "flying into a fit of rage" at the mere mention of a hospital.
  
  Thank you for adding that context. All children in the state's custody are automatically enrolled in an approved for Medicaid in the state of Hawaii, which covers up to 10 days before the application was submitted or up to 3 months before the application for those requesting long term care.
  So the movie is 100% accurate with the information you've provided.
