Okay but can you use examples to come from reality?
CareCredit is a thing
And it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to get your arm and leg back
My family members aren't real? lol
Anyone can pull a name out of thin air and attach bullshit stories to them
People are so heavily indoctrinated they simply don't know you have the ability to negotiate with doctors
not all doctors will do it, however, it's not an absolute
nothing is
No you can try to negotiate with them you'll get laughed at and sued for wasting their time but you can try
Best case scenario a $20,000 procedure will get bumped up to say $40,000 if you pay it over the course of the rest of your life
Since they would be waiting to see that money they're obviously going to want more money for the inconvenience
people spend more than that on a car 🙄
I honestly don't want to hear it lol
Using the 1% is an example to Define what the status quo of the market is isn't very honest
There is a very good reason doctors are beginning to refuse medicare/medicaid etc.
Not exactly a strawman and I don't think it technically counts as cherry picking
the 1%?
You have lost your God damned mind
I'm literally living at poverty level
You can't honestly think everyone out there is buying Tesla's
it's paid for, 100$
If you were living at the poverty level and spending over 40 Grand on a car I think it's your own fault honestly
100%*
I own a business, purchased the equipment for that too
Pfffhaha
Oh so now you're not at the poverty line
This is just hilarious
owning a business and/or buying a car doesn't have a single thing to do with whether your income is considered at poverty level or not
You and a dude in a different group have made this day very entertaining
When you own a business and are hiring other people in to do the work for you you're a bit better off than the hobo across the street
And I can guarantee your income is higher than minimum wage
I don't have employees, what the actual fuck are you on about
you're reading a lot into this
I own a business as a means of fucking over the system
and as a means of going my own way
I will probably never have an employee, and I'll take advantage of ***every single*** loophole to "legally" get out of paying taxes
I say legally meaning, legal by the state's standards
and yeah, that puts me at or below poverty level
Anyways, here's a pretty good article partly relating to the *actual* topic
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/100215/what-do-when-your-doctor-doesnt-take-medicare.asp
Okay I get it you're not even one of those petty-bourgeois mom and pop shops You're Just a Nobody who scrapes by through a little bit from his personal property
Why didn't you just say so in the first place if you don't own a business don't claim to own a business🤦
And I love how you exclusively used Medicare instead of a article referring to medical costs in general and do some basic function math to figure out why medical bills put people in debt
