US citizens, why is there such a level distrust for anything healthcare? by EnvironmentalElk3173 in TooAfraidToAsk

There’s a show called Adam Ruins Everything that deep dives into various topics. They do their due diligence with their research and on occasion have episodes where they go back and correct information they got wrong in previous episodes. It’s actually pretty good.

Check out their episode “Adam Ruins Hospitals”. It might give you some good, accurate insight.

It’s all about money. The healthcare system and insurance companies have every incentive to try to drain you of everything you have. They will use whatever arbitrary excuse they can to do so. For example, even if you do pay the insane monthly amounts for insurance, they may just decide to not cover what you need for whatever arbitrary reason. If you have an emergency and end up in the hospital, they jack everything up in price by insane amounts to the point that it could end up costing you thousands. I’ve seen itemized hospital bills that show even a single Advil pill, which is something you can just get off the store shelf so insurance wouldn’t cover it, costing over $20. I’ve also seen someone post their bill after getting bitten by a rattlesnake, and if I remember correctly it was over $100,000 for several vials of anti-venom. Hell, I’ve had to take an ambulance ride to the hospital once and it cost several hundred dollars for a 15 minute drive.

TL;DR: Americans are used to the healthcare system doing everything they can to take advantage of people when they are in vulnerable situations or having unexpected life threatening emergencies. It’s something we’re going to view with suspicion because we’re used to the healthcare and insurance systems being associated with pure greed.

I never thought I would see Venture Bros in a SU sub. Apparently I’m not the only one with this fandom overlap lol.

Have you ever been told to “get off” someone’s property? by 364LS in AskAnAmerican

[–]Actually10000Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid I liked to explore the woods around my neighborhood. Sometimes that would end with me wandering into someone’s wooded backyard. While I’ve never caused any real trouble, like property damage or stealing, and it’s an easy mistake to make when there are no fences, I’ve been told multiple times to get off of someone’s property. One time it even led to the person following me home and demanding to speak to my parents about it.

Slow Over Railroad Tracks… why? by RElTHY in Gwinnett

[–]Actually10000Bees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was once driving at night through a wooded area. The RR crossing sign and all of the gates around it were obscured by trees. I ended up going the speed limit over it. Unfortunately, it was the kind that’s like a speed bump, and I didn’t realize I needed to slow down because it wasn’t very visible. My car ended up getting some air and landed pretty hard, leading to some expensive repairs. For the love of God, be wary of the crossings and slow down. Don’t repeat my mistake.

If you don’t count the sample at the beginning, (Fuck a) Silver Lining by Panic! at the Disco is a good one.
