50 Posts That Are Funny But Also Hit You With The Sad Reality (New Pics)

Health care should NOT be a business. Making money off sick people is unconscionable.

Have the United States enough oil to be liberated by the United States?

I had exactly the same conversation with my Korean friend. It's pointless to explain the difference to rednecks screaming go back to China in your face.

Apparently Corona-parties are a (luckily rare?) thing in Germany/Austria. Filed under facts and ideas that make my brain melt

There he said it! Thank You!

How reassuring ☺️

Look at the sheeple

Priorities of the powerful

My 12yo wants to live in Iceland when they grow up and I'm encouraging them because I want my kid to have a better life than I've had and getting out of the USA is going to contribute to making that possible.

I don't think enough cactus could be grown to make much of a dent in the use of plastic throughout the world.

Burn baby burn! 🔥

Mission failed successfully.

"In my time, 50 euros were a lot of money, you know... -Yes grandma, but your time is over."

More news: Graduate Americans decide to stay in Europe because they can't see themselves returning to a dystopian society after having experienced what it is to live in a normal country.

in germany and switzerland we say "dear god, please let it rain brains.. or stones. but please just hit the target!" ( lieber gott, lass es hirne regnen.. oder steine. aber hauptsache du triffst!)

And zero brains.

I love this ad

Considering the average age of a lot of elected officials, it would be best to hire younger people anyway because they have more perspective on what life is like for young people and how much stuff costs

Reagans were the original cult leaders of the Republican party, worshipped to this day. A lot of problems in the country have been a result of Reagan and his gang of thugs. And there is a direct line from Ronald to Donald.

Love it

And covered in clothes 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But everything you think you're gonna get is actually from a completely different department, as you got lost in the shop. Keep it anyway.

"Hahaha, he is not a douche, lol, shame on him!"

"frost my tips and log me in" such a great brand new sentence hahahaha

That’s an insane amount of money… wow

Seriously America, sort it out. My mother in law is in hospital having triple bypass surgery. Total cost = £5 for parking when we visit.

It’s worse for patients who have strokes or hip fractures. When they discharge from the hospital they need help. But every family member they have as either just as elderly is them or they work full-time to make ends meet. So no one is able to take care of grandma or grandpa and they have to go to a nursing home. In order to qualify for financial assistance for a nursing home grandma or grandpa has to be poor. So they have to open the valve on their savings account and spend it all, which disappears in a matter of days at a nursing home. Life savings wiped out in a matter of days. Only then do they get the full-time care they need.

what is wrong with America?

Chronic health problems here. Our deductible is THOUSANDS per year PLUS high monthly premiums. I literally fly to South Africa when I need expensive tests and treatment, because even in PRIVATE care there it is cheaper to play for a roundtrip ticket, lodging, and some of the BEST doctors on the planet. (Well thanks to the maskholes and anti-vaxxers I'm currently just trying to wait it out rather than pay an arm and leg here.) We are so broken it's ridiculous.

That's more than my 30 year mortgage+interest! Gtf out of there!

WOW, My my dad had a heart attack, he was in hospital for just over a week (Obviously unable to work during that period), and you wouldn't believe the cost! £7 for parking! well we only did that once! we parked 2 streets away for free for the rest of the visits. Oh BTW, the health care was fee and he got paid sick leave, soo...

My youngest was premature and spent 3 months in NICU. $2.2 million dollars.

6k is still too much. I cremated my old shitty man for free. The municipal corporation took care of all the costs.

Born in the USA .. once a hymn of pride. Now a hymn of desperation

I’m surprised it was that low for a week in the hospital.

amazing

THIS. This is why I'm leaving the country once I have the money.

When my brother was 18 he got endocarditis and was incredibly sick. He ended up having open heart surgery to replace a valve, along with several other surgeries to repair veins in his leg. His total medical care cost well over a million dollars (this was back in the 90's). He was on my father's insurance plan at the time and afterwards the insurance company dropped my father's company as a client - because you know, they actually had to pay for someone's health care. We're definitely living the dream here in America aren't we?

I live in Canada. I almost died from multiple blood clots in both lungs. I spent 5-days in hospital on varying degrees of oxygen, had multiple shots of blood thinner, was given intravenous iron, had multiple scans [EKG, ECG, X-ray, CT] and the best care from doctors, nurses and assistant staff. The total cost -$0.00. WTF America?

My dad passed away in the hospital after catching covid while there (before the vaccine came out). The staff stole his wedding ring that he wore for 59 years. I guess they didn't realize he had full insurance coverage.

I'm in Canada. My mind cannot wrap itself around this amount of money paying for anything but a down payment on a freakin' house! Hubby has been battling Stage 4 throat cancer for 8 years now (all clear, still awaiting surgery to close the hole in his neck), in and out of hospitals, chemo, radiation, x-rays, endless tests, etc. We've paid out about a grand ($1,000) and that has ALL been to fix the damage the radiation did to his jaw and teeth. These bills down south are insane.

Only one week? Jesus, so much money. This year, I spend two month in hospital. How much would that cost in the USA?

Does anyone actually pay such amounts to the hospitals? Ever?

A number like that could give a person a heart attack
