I hate when that happens!
Umm my dad had cancer. Pretty sure I have to worry about some sort of hereditary thing associated with that. We never once paid for his treatment which lasted a good decade, at least.@SomeRandom
You bash American foreign policy. Well, who wouldn't?
But look at how my country treated a disenfranchised junkie's swollen, discolored scrotum, free of charge, and no insurance because Obama care didn't exist yet!
Would Australia be so kind to a poor man's puss-filled, abscess--ridden bean bag, free of charge?
When my balls become cancerous like my grand-dad's (true story btw), my country will remove them free of charge, and (i'll be singing with a higher voice about how proud i am to be an American!)
You see why I'm so proud of my country?

You don't know how many times I went out on a flimsy limb that broke, ****ed myself up, and the government caught me and put me back together!
Hence, i don't even have to worry and frantically stress about my testicles anymore! The government will provide for them!
Regarding the title of this thread, any answers to the death question? At least you don't have to worry about balls that kill! Even the non-deadly ones are overrated anyway!
It's often said that something like the show Breaking Bad (which is admittedly amazing, Bryan Cranston is the man!!) can't actually translate to Australiastan or even Englandstan properly because the concept of a teacher (of all people) being forced to go to extreme lengths to pay for cancer treatment is something of a foreign concept.
So yeah dude we would. We have this thing called Medicare. Our collective taxes go towards medicine in effect. Those with the money can "skip the line" as it were with private health care. But I have yet to hear of a doctor refusing medical treatment because they didn't have cash or were a junkie or something. I mean unethical much, geez! (Though there are a number of "quacks" in it for the money to be sure.)
Sure any rare or highly controversial/experimental medicine might be hard to come by if you don't have the dosh. But it causes no end of confusion when we watch Americans literally patch themselves up with tape on reality TV, because apparently a trip to the ER is too "costly." I think the last time I went to the ER I didn't even have to give them my Medicare number. Just signed out thanked the staff and went on me merry way. And it's not like they skimped out. Had tests galore, morphine, all that jazz.
Is our system flawed? Absolutely!!
But I have yet to hear of anyone near me being forced to take out a friggin mortgage because they had the audacity to get sick. That is insane!!
