As an American, if I got cancer like this dude has, having a job there is a very high chance I'd be destitute IF I lived. World class medical treatment off the backs of his subjects.. yeahno my dude, worlds smallest violen playing.jpeg

I'm not sure I follow. I know health insurance in the US is often tied to a salaried job, so if you have one, then why would you be destitute ?
