That's unfair. They would wait until you got septic, treat you, and eventually sell your debt to a third party debt collector who would proceed to hunt you down like a run away slave. Stop spreading your communist lies about our traditional American values.
You wouldn't have to go septic, you can go into an ER before then. They'll treat you then write you a prescription you may not be able to afford. Then you have 2 paths. If you recover, even without the meds, you are still left with a massive medical debt that is then sold to a 3rd party. If you don't recover you go back to the hospital as septic, and you get even more medical debt to be sold.
Great system
🤣
