I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.

Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!

    Oh I know they’re bullshit.

    Still would’ve been left with a crippling amount of debt for something I had no control over if not for insurance, no matter what the actual number would’ve been.

      I don’t have to tell you “that’s what the insurance companies want you to think so you’ll forget about the option of free healthcare for all” because here we both are.

        certainly, but I live in the US, so that’s automatically socialism and you’re automatically commie scum for suggesting it.

        sorry, thems the rules
