I love how Ernie, clearly a homeless individual who is clearly having a tough time, is just so quiet and soft spoken. He seems like a total sweetheart and I hope he gets the help he needs, free of charge. (Edit: I know it’s a show, that doesn’t change the fact that there is a real life crisis regarding homeless individuals, may all who need help receive it free of charge.)

[@AK____________________________]

Cause he knows he aint paying the bill anyway

[@Sad-nk7qq]

@ I can’t tell if this is supposed to be satire or an actual dig on homeless individuals. While yes I understand that there are many homeless people out there who are homeless due to alcohol or drug addictions, there are also many homeless individuals who are veterans of war, there are many homeless individuals who are victims of harsh diseases who didn’t have family or funds to fall upon. Not all homeless individuals are the same, most are simply people who made bad choices, or who fell on hard times. It’s not fair to judge others on a circumstance such as homelessness because it is such a harsh circumstance to get out of. Not to mention some people can unfortunately be born in to homelessness! What I’m trying to say here is that we should stop demonizing homelessness, and instead offer aid and support. Most modern homeless shelters are overrun and under funded, so instead of investing millions in hostile architecture, how about we invest millions in cheaper housing options, homeless shelters, and anonymous addiction support centers. I think we should take a page from the great late actor Robin Williams who often hired homeless individuals to be extras in movies. He paid them full salaries and dedicated time to helping them get back on their feet. At the end of the day they are people just as you and me.

If you get a bill for a month's worth of wages for a kid you was sick and care prior to going to the ER for 11 hours already took a lot of that month's money, how rational are you going to be?

A lot of people cannot go to primary care because their insurance or state sponcered insurance does not cover primary care.

Insurance can deny the claim, but hospitals still jack the rates for insurance holders.

No one paid anything but the customer. Fuck private insurers but don't act like hospitals aren't part of the issue. They literally decide what to bill their client's insurance company at the end of the day. If insurance decides your cost then explain how the bill isn't from my insurance company... It's from the fucking hospital's billing department. Then next explain how uninsured rates are fucking exorbitant.
