Brian got off easy, yikes.
He was basically euthanized by comparison to what he and his company did to people.
Euthanasia could possibly even be more painful than a well aimed gunshot to the head

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.
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.

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

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.
Holy shit, what a fucking nightmare
B-but we had universal health care we would lose all our FrEeDoM!!1!
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.
I mean, a Death Panel would have to actually stop and think about the life they’re going to snuff out instead of just going “Can you just die? Our share holders would really appreciate it? No? Eh, I wasn’t really asking anyway…”
At least medically assisted death panels have licensed Doctors on them, and they’re discussing at the patients request. They are not deciding who lives and who dies, just whether or not offering medically assisted death is appropriate for the patient requesting it. Instead of a broken AI just returning ‘coverage denied’ all day.
Meanwhile, Canada has the MAIDS program, with patients being often asked if they need help to kys over some minor, easily solved medical issue.
Worse, we have buggy hallucinating AI.
Clearly, being a woman is a pre-existing condition.
ಠ_ಠ
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.
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”

I’m still hungry. One was not enough.
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.
Only we get to talk to the camera
Thanks for getting the reference
May I ask the source?
Ed O’Neill hijacks the movie with that line. Brilliant moment in Wayne’s World

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

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.
Should have gone with the Jane Doe,
