    Imagine someone stealing your home because you got sick or injured. Jesus fucking christ. Luigi is right. We already live in a dystopia.

    Edit: owing $200,000 to a non-profit hospital. Non-profit my ass.

      I think their practices are abhorrent, but their non-profit status is irrelevant.

      Non-profit basically just means that any profits don’t get kept by the owners. The hospital still needs to get paid for its services to operate.

      Reminds me of Crassius (Roman firefighter who would only put out fires in people’s homes after buying them for dirt cheap).

        It’s the end of his story that really fits well and absolutely part of history that bears repeating.
