Only half-joking. If you don't have good insurance or savings you're kind of ****ed. It's the biggest theme of the show, right alongside "meth is bad".

That seems crazy to me. Is it common for people to not have decent insurance?

Say someone off here got very ill and needed treatment but didn't have savings or insurance, what happens then?

They will likely get treated then given an unpayably massive bill when they recover/leave the hospital.

This guy puts a lot of American healthcare law and standards in laymen's terms. I recommend reading his stuff if you're interested.

If the minutae of ACHA doesn't make your nipples hard, then nothing will.

The bankruptcy part comes in like this: You try to pay some part of the massive bill.
The bank will be happy to provide a loan if you need one (most do) and will also be
happy to charge you 18 to 24% (often higher) on that loan. So, of course,
most people can't possibly keep up the payments and you begin losing - thru force,
your personal belongings until all you have left are your mortgage payments on your home.
THEN, you file for either two types of bankruptcy. Your credit and your life are ruined.
That's the great Amerikkkan way!

Awesome. Great. Really great. Lower premiums. Lower deductables. More coverage. Really great healthcare.

"facetious" often doesn't really come off well in text unless you have an appropriate emoji accompanying it.
