Assume you’re life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you.
Also assume you’ve exhausted all ethical fundraising options, i.e. GoFundMe, loans, etc. and that insurance won’t cover treatment for whatever reason.

Sounds like a plan, Jesse
Jesse! We need to COOK!
BITCH!
Seriously though, drugs are the quickest easiest way to make a quick buck. Used to be able to scam the check cashing places pretty easy but it’s mostly electronic now.
Whoever’s downvoting you has clearly never pulled night shifts at a 7-Eleven.

I just get treatment because I live in a country that actually provides its citizens with healthcare (even if the Tories want to get rid of that).
Is it bad I can’t even tell which commonwealth country you’re talking about?
So just ignore the question and sound pretentious?
Do you just call everyone pretentious who says something you don’t like? Lol
He’s misusing the term. What he means is to sound superior, and although I appreciate his spirit – the Europeans and Canadians speaking up are doing so outside of the context of and therefore against the spirit of the question – I think it’s fine, it’s good to have non-Americans with whom to compare responses.
That is the point of the post. There is something very wrong with this country, isn’t there?
I don’t have insurance because it’s too expensive and the thought crossed my mind this morning that something like that could actually happen to me, and if it did, I honestly have no idea what I would do. And then I realize that the society around me would get angry at me and morally condemn me if I did commit a crime to save my own life, and that’s when I finally realized that American morality is a fucking sham. It’s all designed to convince its subjects to accept being enslaved and murdered to keep the system going, and that’s wrong. What good is morality if it only costs you and doesn’t benefit you?
If you look at higher education, it’s also designed to convince its subjects that killing abroad for oil and economical interests is moral and good.
That’s a bit unfair. This question is pretty much only relevant to USians and USians should be reminded of that at every possible opportunity. We’re trying to help you, man.
I don’t worry about money since the treatment is free and sick people get money from the government during recovery.
Australia. 3 years of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants, multiple X-rays, CT and MRI scans, now in remission, didn’t have to pay for any of it.
Which country?
Germany at least, probably the whole EU too.
Sweden
Norway
Pretty much any developed country.
That didn’t answer the question. You just sound pretentious.
Nah, it’s fair. The health care dilemma is why I actually asked in the first place.
I don’t understand why it is people don’t revolt over it. The government is literally killing people and society itself just expects you to die and no one actually thinks about or appreciates the gravity of the situation.
And you sound salty bro 🙃
They did answer, It means they are stealing tax money from ALL Germans. /s
I mean… it did, they would go get treatment. They have that option.
Start a fundraising email chain for Trumps legal defense and mass mail it.

if its good enough for him, its good enough for cancer.
Sneak into a country with public healthcare I guess, maybe steal the identity of someone if they won’t treat a stranger.
Why yes I am Costa Rican
Lots of countries’ healthcare will treat you for free as long as you are there. The problem you need to solve is to not get kicked out of the country, so you need to either have a job, be rich, or have a provable reliable income (like a pension) to get a long term visa, or you need to go back to your plan of stealing someone’s identity.
I think quite a few countries would see “kicking you out whilst battling cancer” as a human rights violation, and would only kick you out after your treatments.
I was searching for some precedent there - which brought up Bush eliminating cancer treatments for illegal immigrants in 2007. It’s impressive that this war criminal can still disgust me even further.
The thing is that, at least for Americans, their country of origin can treat the cancer as well as any European country, and “I’m too poor to live in my own country” is usually not an accepted reason for immigration or asylum.
There are some countries that have medical treatment visas but those usually require people to pay for the treatment, and while it’s order of magnitude cheaper than US hospitals but for cancer is still not exactly cheap.
Can’t just go there on vacation?
Touristic visas only last 90 days. And usually the hospitals will only provide emergency care to tourists. They might be willing to stretch that definition a lot but not to the point of doing things that need to be regularly scheduled.
Go to a hospital and get it treated. I assume this is some third world health care bait though, as it’s missing which country the hypothetical is happening in

I would do nothing. Healthcare is free here
Same. As it should be.
Tell us where so op can move there if it comes to that.
I’ve heard that the success rate of bank robberies is far under reported.
Yes, but it’s misleading. Most bank robbers get cash from the tellers, and not even all of them. You might clear 10k on a really good score. It’s a lot of risk for little reward. You’d have better success with insurance fraud.
This person fuxks
Die of anxiety long before the cancer gets me, lol
I don’t need money for the treatment. #publichealthcare
Seriously? You wouldn’t do crime to live?
I’ve had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I’d rather go out on my own terms.
Plus, any kind of money making scheme I’d think of is likely going to end up like the “aim for the bushes” scene in The Other Guys.
Even for cancers with high survival rates, like skin or breast cancer?

Used to see these people with multiple prescriptions for Percocets. They would use one for themselves and sell all the rest as individual pills to pay for treatment.
American healthcare system turned little old ladies with cancer into hardcore drug dealers.
Truer than people know in the US Especially the old Florida pill mills
Divorce my wife, quit working and get state funded insurance. We still keep her income and I can get treatment without sinking my entire family. Something something capitalist dystopia.

Complain about Klaus Schwab and the WEF and talk about eating bugs and not owning anything.
Say the donation is for gods army to take on Bill Gates and his Clinton’s.
Make absolute bank in less than a week. Tried and true. These people aren’t going anywhere so you might as well mine them like the resources they are.
