One million in the US alone. Over .25% of our total population. And that's not including all the people weakened by COVID and dying of something else, or all the unregistered COVID deaths.
I can literally see a dozen ambulances parked if I look out my office window. . I don't think it would take long to reach me if I'm lucky enough to have a heart attack at work. At home, 20 mins from a (crappy) hospital- but any port in a storm, right? Five mins from a fire station though and over here if you call for an ambulance they always send the fire fighters too, because they're usually closer and have some training in what to do for any medical emergency. So I would have some medical help before the ambulance got here.
Depends. If you're homeless or have nothing to lose, you get it for free. If you have a home or any physical goods, they'll take that from you.
What if you just rent your property and don't have any assets? Would they come and take your TV's and furniture to cover the bill?
Theoretically, they could. I think if you're poor and on government assistance, they can't come after you, but if you're just poor, they'll hound you for the money and get their pound of flesh somehow. They'd probably try to set up some crippling payment plan where the interest will kill you first. An ambulance ride would cost thousands... And then any emergency room visit could too. All said and done, a minor emergency requiring a hospital visit will cost you more than a used car. And that's if you have insurance. There are some people though who are already on government assistance and very poor who it's not worth going after for money... Doctors that I know (who make several hundred thousand $ per year) always complain and bitch about really poor people and undocumented immigrants who they have to treat, even though they know they'll probably not get their money out of them... Seriously, it's not even funny how often I've heard a doctor complaining about having to treat people who they know probably can't pay and so they might only be able to extract a few hundred from the visit.
them doctors you know who feel like that are in the wrong job.....because its called care.......they probably Christian hypocritical ****s and all knowing the easily fooled yanks. You lot are fkd and in the pocket of big pharmaceutical companies and we over here should have been protected from that very same situation from happening in this country where the people own the national health service......but I'm afraid lobbyists that have hijacked political parties have shifted us slowly but surely into the very hands of corporate greed and the privatisation of of health services......see covid for big pharmaceutical fraud for evidence of who is pulling the strings.
Hanky Panky Former world darts champion Ted Hankey has been jailed for two years for a sexual assault caught on camera. Hankey, 54, from Berry Hill, Stoke-on-Trent, pinned down the young woman and, with an "air of entitlement", sexually assaulted her, Chester Crown Court heard. He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to the attack on 10 September in Crewe. The darts player, nicknamed The Count, was the BDO world champion in 2000 and 2009. The court was previously told the victim was aged between 16 and 18. Hankey, a father-of-three, who had shown "more self-pity than remorse", dabbed away tears with a tissue as he was sentenced. Judge Steven Everett, Recorder of Chester, said Hankey would have "denied it to the bitter end" if the attack had not been caught on film. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-61423653
Most doctors feel like because they had to spend hundreds of thousands in medical bills to get their degrees they're owed as much money as possible and that earning mega wages is their right for having a few years of "hardship" having to live a reasonable life for two or three years paying off the school debt. Very few go into the career for love of people. They do it for love of money.
A couple in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand are suing their only son and his wife for not giving them a grandchild after six years of marriage. Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad, 61 and 57, say they used up their savings raising their son, paying for his pilot's training as well as a lavish wedding. They are demanding compensation worth nearly $650,000 (£525,000) if no grandchild is born within a year. The highly unusual lawsuit was filed on grounds of "mental harassment". Mr Prasad said he had spent all his savings on his son, sending him to the US in 2006 for pilot training at a cost of $65,000. He returned to India in 2007, but lost his job and his family had to support him financially for more than two years, the Times of India reports. Shrey Sagar, 35, did eventually get a job as a pilot. His parents say they arranged his marriage to Shubhangi Sinha, now 31, in 2016, in the hope that they would have a "grandchild to play with" during their retirement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-61424869
