This is not a country, this is a money laundering scheme for big businesses pretending that charging someone to save their life isn’t ill gotten gains

Btw the info of the hospital that did this is as follows:

Legacy Emanuel Medical Center

Phone: 503-415-5600

Address: 2801 N. Gantenbein Ave. Portland, OR 97227

Would be a shame if they had to hear people were upset by this

I know its super heavy handed, but this shit always makes me think of the final line of Killing Them Softly

"This guy wants to tell me were living in a community? Don't make me laugh. I'm living in America, and in America, you're on your own. America's not a country. Its just a business. Now fuckin' pay me."

honestly not a bad tactic. I hate how so many Americans carry this guilt around towards unpaid bills and shit even if they are being ripped off or scammed. The most cowed people on earth with that stuff, they'll work themselves to death paying a debt when the rational thing to do is to tell any creditors to fuck off. Feel like society would improve significantly if Americans used their guns to shoot more creditors.

That was one of Graeber's main points in Debt: the first 5000 years, debt is a perfect way to turn relations of violence on their head, making the oppressor seem the victim, and the victim seem to be the one in the wrong.
