Not first, but screw whoever is
Hi im from iran
I get a 12,000 dollar treatment every six weeks for the rest of my life thanks to having a chronic disease. It was nice when I had Medicaid but now I have to pay 20 percent and I’m disabled so theres no way I can keep affording it because to get secondary medicare insurance it costs me 750 bucks a month at my age. I’ve had over a million dollars in treatment already and 10 surgeries in one year so yeah fuck hospital prices, I didn’t ask to be dying and require expensive upkeep so why do I suffer financially Forever?
Chronic disease and 10 surgeries in a year. I would have checked out unless you’re a Stephen Hawking.
+SamI Am Its horrible to think this is happening to good people.. Wish you all the best, even though that does exactly nothing 🙁
+Mark Gigiel you’re not as strong as me then. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what I’ve dealt with, that same year my fiance had a miscarriage and I lost my job, all my friends, girlfriend, and my home in the same week. It could always get worse. As long as you’re breathing, you’re winning.
@Unknown I am right there in that sinking boat with you. Hang in there. I am around if you need an ear 📞
+Jerrell Bevers Yeah, I was just about to say – just kill yourself, dude. I know I would, if my upkeep costs 20 people’s salaries. Take one for the team!
I was once hit by a car down the street from a hospital and I remember the ambulance coming and me seriously considering just dragging myself down the street into the hospital instead just to save on the medical bills
Some Person Not half as entertained as i am, waiting for facts while you dodge and squirm without any!
Keep going sunshine. Any other strident defences? Any more paranoia?
+Joanna Chen Where did I ever claim it was out of the goodness of their hearts? All I said is what happened not why. Seriously, do people actually read or just jump into a debate they want to have with themselves? Because I didn’t say anything that led into that long reply of yours, except what the US has done for Europe during wartimes the last 40 years. Go away please, you seem nice enough but very propaganda filled…
+Some Person troll😈
+Jynessa Swann sandwich😂
Just saying random words with an emoji like you…😘
+Some Person idiotic troll 🙂
PSA: Food allergies are not seasonal allergies.
Edit: They are either much more severe than people like to think or they are not an allergy in the first place (ie, food intolerance). Otherwise, don’t think a self-diagnosis is an accurate one.
whatttttttttttttt really omg thank you
What if they are seasonal foods?
I am actually mortally allergic to:
Eggs
Avacados
Kale
Bananas
So, yah know, I can’t just order a smoothie without having my Last Will and Testament on lock. I am not going to eat these things just to prove to you that I’m allergic. I’m allergic. I will damned near DIE if I eat any of these.
It’s the people who are faking these allergies who make it difficult for those who are actually allergic. I am not going to carry around my hospital or medical records, to prove to some asshole (who’s been conned one too many times and taking it out on me) that I will literally die if I eat a god-damned quiché!!!
+Nadia Silver so you are white but where is gluten?????????
I don’t get why food intolerance is so fucking judged. Yeah, I won’t die right away from eating gluten, but I’ve lost more than 30 pounds before including muscle mass due to malourishment because I kept eating the shit thinking it was totally ok. I was underweight and blood vessels were starting to burst like I was an old person. I kept going to the bathroom every 5 minutes, so I’m not about to carry on life living like that hell again because people wanna be assholes about it. Fuck you, Trevor!
I always thought allergies were a white people thing 😂
+Noir Gold people took great offence to me calling Africa a shithole for some reason
+Ardian Borg “for some reason” lol this dude is so convinced by his own stupidity that he doesn’t understand why everyone’s calling him out on it 😂
+A1 Dex still a disease ridden shithole that nobody gives a shit about
+Ardian Borg yes, you are lol
+Ardian Borg is it communist or a dictatorship? Cause those two are polar opposites
Yup just decided this is my official channel for news!!
My wife and three toasters😂😂
Robot harem!
Some of y’all need to chill … they said “Half of Americans actually have allergies…”
No need in lashing out at Trevor for stating it … I mean I know for a fact I have shellfish allergies after attempting to eat shrimp over the years. If your situation is real, then watch what you eat or carry your EpiPen!
I don’t know why but I laughed so hard when he said “You guys should have let me die” 😂😂
I just thought, sad but true.
I’m not allergic to milk but it makes me vomit every time I have as much as a small swig. So I think people use terms such as allergy to describe such reactions to food even though a doctor might give you an allergy test and determine that you are not allergic to it. As an example, people with Celiac disease are not allergic to wheat, but eating wheat makes them sick and gives them a broad range of very significant symptoms some of them can be severe. So if someone with undiagnosed celiac disease concludes they are allergic to wheat it would be perfectly reasonable.
Thats probably Lactose intolerance .
intolerance = (milk-)sugar
Allergic = ( Milk-)protein
Have you done research on all the pharmaceutical drug injections cows get. Not to mention we have no business drinking cows milk that was created for a baby calf. Consider watching “forks over knives” or “ Plant nation “ documentaries. Hope it helps.
*This doesn’t accurately reflect the food allergy study!* the results of which indicated that lots of those people had oral allergies or food intolerances, which work differently than an allergy.
In other words, if every time you eat a specific food you get painful cramps and raging diarrhea, you have a food intolerance, but not an allergy.
The problem is that people are using the wrong term, and just cutting out whole categories of food instead of consulting with an immunologist or other specialist.
The study also found, to the researchers’ surprise, that though only a portion of those who thought they had a food allergy truly had one, far more Americans probably have “true food allergies” than they expected to find, over ten percent of their sample size, with another nine percent having intolerance.
*Come on, Daily Show, you’re better than this.*
Or doctors just blow off your issues…
Bitch ass Americans
My grandson has severe allergies. Sometimes you just have a sense of humor.
+melissa saint The US is also one of the most diverse countries in the world, so many minorities are not used to the typical American diet. Like me, my entire family is lactose intolerant it wouldn’t had mattered how often I was breastfed because it’s in my genes
+Lisa Burton weak people are allergic to a sense of humor
Trevor, that’s not where your appendix is man
Appendix is on the left side, which is where he is showing. Plus he’s not a doctor 😂
+Ben May the appendix is on his right side, not his left
His appendix was put in a dumpster a long time ago.
I think you saw it wrong. He moved his hands to his right side, not the left. Watch it again
it’s not anywhere, he took it out :))) but yes it’s on the right, he showed left
Medicare for All, people—it’s the way to go!
I have Trumpnorrhea! No cure, only large amount of alcohol bring down the side effects.
Food allergies are not the same as food insensitivity. A person who is lactose intolerant is not allergic to milk. They cannot digest lactose, they do not a have an autoimmune response to it.
Just because a person doesn’t have celiac doesn’t mean the react poorly to gluten. And many times they may react poorly to the sugars in wheat and not the gluten but wouldn’t know the difference.
And if you have been gluten free for a while. You will likely feel different when adding it back in, but that doesn’t mean you are intolerant.
Yeah too much gluten (like a lot) can upset some tummies, celiacs is technically different than allergies because no allergic reaction (but the reaction that does happen is just as bad or worse), but one thing to note though is that if you truly believe you have an allergy you can actually go into anaphylactic shock
Edit: nvm
+Austin Brancheau not always the case. Im allergic to cats and dogs but it will never cause anaphalaxis however it can trigger asthma attacks and kill me that way 🙃 other allergies like dust also make me sick and cause skin conditions, still not anaphalaxis. And yes i was tested they are allergies.
+Keiko Smith ok, thank you for the information. I thought that any allergy caused anyphalixis, but I am clearly wrong
+Austin Brancheau lots of different ways too react. 🙃
“You guys should have let me die!” I’ve said that so many times. The doctors and nurses REFUSE to tell me costs.
The robot was clearly jay walking.
America is only developed country in the world without free universal healthcare. Sad.
+Ben May canada to see the dr is free but the cost of medicine is not. And like you said, comes from tax. Even if tax aside the cost for the drugs is soo high a lot can’t afford it.
Well that is quite a sad story. Thank you for telling me! I’ll be glad to remember that for future discussions with people! 👍
+Ben May i think my country (New Zealand) has it the easiest and yet a lot like myself with chronic illness still struggle paying fees and such.
There are always the upsides and downsides of every way a government is run. I wish you the best of luck with life, it gets tough but you can do it! (Whatever “it” is in your life)
+Ben May exactly nothings perfect nothing in life is free lol
I got individually packed HALLS cough drops (3) bill for $30 each.
You wish it was Halls. They rewrap
Hospitals make so much dang money. It’s good that they have to disclose prices. No one deserves to be hit with a $5000 surprise bill for an ambulance ride. A lot of people call Lyft and Uber instead.
