Don’t give doctors a bad name like that. They work their asses off to help people and go many years being overworked and underpaid to do it
It’s the insurance companies that reap the benefits of people’s misfortune
Came to say this. For profit health insurance is an abomination and should be illegal.
Don’t ignore for-profit hospitals with completely made up costs that can vary up to 10x between hospitals in the same city.
I’m with you but it’s not the doctor it’s the hospital administrators who live like the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
This is after they take a huge cut out of what the actual healthcare professionals make.
For real, I know there are exceptions, but I’ve worked with tons of doctors and not one gave two shits about someone’s ability to pay. They would often argue with administration to help people who couldn’t pay

The doctors chose to work in such a hospital though in order to get higer wages
The doctor has $375k in loans they need to start paying back pretty soon.
It’ll be 20 years before they’re in a cushy private office with (only) a 50hr work week.
The issue largely exists in the healthcare industry (administration/insurance) that has grown up around actual medical providers and serve as middlemen and gatekeepers.
This is a shit take.
Doctors don’t discuss billing with patients, or their families. American healthcare is fucked enough in reality without making enemies of those trying to just do their fucking job.
having been through this exact situation, I get the point of the meme, and realize their intent was that “doctor” should be read as “healthcare industry”. Just poor word choice. Other side of the story, the healthcare professionals that cared for him where wonderful and did everything they could for him and I am totally OK with them getting paid for their efforts.
The sad thing is that the people who do the actual work barely see any of the money.
Those CEOs work the hardest if you ask me
Especially the ones at the insurance companies where the patients medical decisions are ACTUALLY made.
All the layers of the bureaucracy managing the profit need their cut.
They get paid in countries with a decent healthcare system as well
My wife had a miscarriage a few years back. Yeah. All we got for our trouble was a massive bill. 0/10. Fuck this shit and this place.
Usually nobody talks how much it costs when it’s free.
I went to the hospital once and had to pay for parking! I will never financially recover from this.
This meme only makes sense in third world poverty,. Ok, well that or the richest nation in the planet.
The doctor doesn’t tell them, they have special people with a little rolling computer that tells them.
If I thought the people who run for profit hospitals and insurance companies had human souls, I’d say they should be made to do this work so they could maybe see that it shouldn’t be about profit.
But then I remembered they’re all non-human garbage who should be first up against the wall in the revolution.
Doctors should be left out of this. It’s not their fault America (and probably some third world countries) allow profit driven medicine.
Need a money back guarantee.
Right?
You didn’t resolve the issues or mitigate their effect?
Sounds like you didn’t deliver, therefore no pay.
