Ok real question, is there literally any way in the US to get insurance that isn't via being unemployed or through a 40 hr job? I can do 32 but nobody hires for that set of hours. (hexbear.net)

I prefer the direct route of armed robbery. I wear a ski mask and come into the ER waiving a gun around. Tape up some small cardboard boxes with wires sticking out that lead to a button (I don't have access to C4). I demand my surgery and drugs etc. Only downside to this healthcare plan is you can't be put under or you just wake up in jail; gotta stay awake so you can hold the gun on the surgeon.

Good point. Whenever I walk into a room with a gun, people usually get really quiet and listen really closely.

Pro tip: If you ever need to have a phone convo that's contentious and you need to make a point, hold a gun or the biggest knife you have in the opposite hand and gesture like an Italian. Watch the sharp bits and keep your muzzle awareness tho, and for the love of God unload and clear the damn thing first!
