>>509566549Yeah yeah yeah. Let's do a mental experiment:
I haven't worked in Russia all my life, and suddenly you have kidney hydronephrosis. What am I doing? I go to the hospital, get checked out, go for surgery, stay in the hospital for two weeks after the operation, then get out of bed, thank the doctor and go home without paying anything.
You've worked in the United States all your life at an average job, you have health insurance, and you suddenly have hydronephrosis of the kidney. What are you doing? You do everything the same as I do, except that after you're discharged from the hospital, you get a bill that ruins your life because your health insurance doesn't fully cover the services...

Note: the flat tax in Russia is the same as in the US - 13% (without additional Texas state taxes and other shit), which working people don't even pay, the employer does it for them, all salaries in Russia are stated net of taxes, income tax is a hidden part of life that the average person here doesn't have to worry about.

... and then you kill the head of your insurance company in the back, after which you are sentenced to death, canceling all your health insurance to the state. Geg.
