Like you’re presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It’s like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Like, just wack. It’s like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like “hmm yes that’s legit”

America must be destroyed

    When I first went to a mental health urgent care, they called me an ambulance because I had a seizure the previous day. I begged them to just let me drive, but they wouldn’t let me because I was in their care at the time. Now I get daily phone calls telling me to pay up
