    American health insurance in a nutshell: https://youtu.be/llx-SaGq4Fs?si=eDIny0fqcGYFkB2a

    And before non-Americans ask, yes, that’s actually how it is. The humor in this video isn’t from exaggeration, the comedy derives from the unexpectedly clear way the absurdity of the system is explained.

      Yep! The last bit is more of a joke, but the rest is pretty spot on with how the stupid system works. Here’s another example of a video explaining US Healthcare.

        The episode of South park where they walk into this 22nd century insurance building and ask to make a claim. They get sent to the “claims office” and it’s like they went back in time to the 1980s with dot matrix printers, rotary dial phones, and fax machines.

        Here is the link if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAfy26xs6e0

      it seriously blows my mind that the overwhelming majority of my fellow americans tolerate this system, that is if they don’t downright approve of it. The issues mentioned in that video are not isolated incidents. They are common, everyday, business-as-usual practices that almost all of us deal with.
