How a Medical Catastrophe Can Bankrupt a Life
I saw this critique a while back on reddit: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;BiCvPKWCUAA7Rtl.jpg:large" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;BiCvPKWCUAA7Rtl.jpg:large</a><p>The long story short, Breaking Bad, wouldn&#x27;t be a TV show. That&#x27;s because of socialized medicine didn&#x27;t try to profit on the sick. So he wouldn&#x27;t have started making methamphetamine.<p>------------------<p>Edit: Sigh, at -4. I thought this added a valid discussion, that the idea of lack of any sort of medical program across the US is a definite detriment to all. Not only that, but saying he had insurance through the employer only reaffirms:<p>1. You&#x27;re trapped at your employer if you&#x27;re sick<p>2. You&#x27;re bound by the quality of care the employer offers via agreements you can&#x27;t have access to (chosen insurer)<p>3. Lack of choice by mandated &quot;care plans&quot; and coverage agreements that exclude you from treatment due to insurance not covering it<p>I really don&#x27;t get HN some days.. :&#x2F;
