Yea, I don't wish death upon the guy but come on, get a job now

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

He can wipe his cancer tears up with whatever the largest denomination of pounds you guys use is xD

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 ?

Now I'm not British, but I agree with the sentiment

Lost/reduced wages from time off work, and health insurance doesn't cover everything.
