A small addition/correction, but ER won't reject you, they just don't solve problems that aren't life-threatening. It's not necessarily their job to fix you, it's their job to keep you alive.

Just expect a large tab.

The cyberpunk part comes in when the armed ambulance crew comes in to recover you because you're dying.

TLDR: American is a corporate shithole where medical insurance companies get to prioritise profit over health and life.

That is the most insane shit I have read.

I go to the doctors, walk in, and see a doctor for free. Walk out with a prescription thats been heavily discounted due to my government healthcare (medicare) and buy my medication for like 7 bucks at the chemist that's built right next door to the doctors.

Fuck me bro what an absolute joke
