Ackchyually… Bikini Bottom is (probably) in the Marshall Islands which have free healthcare - mostly paid by the US at that.
Show the evidence. Show us that the US is paying a single dime to Bikini Bottom
Well if you want to get really technical, he’s a crab
The US has been known to spend exorbitant amounts of money to save wildlife without billing them.
Is this some kind of American problem for which I’m too European to understand?
No, you won’t get kicked out of a hospital because you don’t have insurance. They will still treat you and then send you the bill.
But here’s the thing: there’s no law forcing you to pay it. You can just ignore medical debt and it’ll eventually go away after seven years. I’m almost 40 and have been doing this my entire life. I’ve never paid a single medical bill ever.
I fact, I believe that Biden passed a law during his term that prevented medical debt from affecting your credit score. But I’m not sure if Trump undid that or not.
Yup. Consider yourself fortunate.
Though it is illegal for a hospital to refuse you life threatening first aid or care. You may just go bankrupt from it later.
