Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is.
So I will weigh in.
I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours.
My bill? $13,500 dollars.
Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount.
For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is.
But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is.
And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers.
On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500.
We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20.
Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings.
Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this.
And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie.
People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

One group deliberately put themselves in danger by threatening police officers.
The other includes SOME of the actual victims—people who were harmed by illegal immigrants who aren’t supposed to be in our country at all.
Yet the left directs its outrage selectively, and the hypocrisy is both exhausting and morally bankrupt.
I’m not sure if I’m MAGA or not.
I only get called MAGA by people on the Internet who hate me.
I don’t have a hat.
It’s not in my bio.
I don’t consider myself a republican.
I’ve had the same values since I was six years old.
I wasn’t born in this country.
Trump wasn’t president when I learned what I believe.
My values didn’t change because social media told me to change.
Here’s what I believe in:
God exists and He is not optional.
Christian is the first word in my bio for a reason. He means everything and it is who I am.
Life begins at conception, abortion is not empowerment.
Strong borders are not hateful, they are basic governance.
Merit matters, outcomes are earned.
Work hard, don’t whine, don’t ask the government to rescue you.
Crime should be punished, not reframed as a lived experience.
Parents raise children, not schools, activists, or bureaucrats.
Men are men, women are women, reality is not negotiable.
America is exceptional, worth defending, and nothing to apologize for. Be proud.
Free speech exists for speech you don’t like.
Law enforcement is necessary, not oppressive.
Capitalism works, and everyone complaining is still using it.
Hard work builds character, dependency destroys it.
National sovereignty matters more than global feelings.
Personal responsibility beats victimhood every time.
If that makes me MAGA, fine.
If it doesn’t, also fine.
I didn’t borrow these beliefs from a movement.
I learned them from my parents.
I love them and trust them more than I will ever trust a political party.
They actually care about my well-being.
I don’t know what that makes me and frankly, I don’t care.
I love this video so much. You will too. This is what we stand for. This is the conservative movement. And if you stand with us too, drop a flag in the comments. Share this out. Spread the message.
America First.
God, Country, and Freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
