MODERATORS
Like most other countries, expect that a lot of people only treat what they can afford. A lot of Go Fund Me sites have been created due to expensive medical treatments.
Ok, I get the Black mirror reference, but I wanted serious answers
they are being serious, though. a lot of people in the US use fundraising platforms like GFM in order to afford medical treatments. not just cancer, but other important surgeries, medical devices, service animals, etc. even if they have health insurance. insurance companies can semi-arbitrarily decide if the issue is "severe" enough to warrant full coverage (or coverage period).
TIL that go fund me is actually charity and not a onlyfans predecessor
