- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Obviously it’s a joke, but get insurance. Thanks to the affordable care act they have a maximum out of pocket cost (for what is covered) and will save you from ruin.
This is doing some really heavy lifting.
$400/mo for me. No thank you. Unless I want insurance that sucks absolute balls.
It is often called catastrophic insurance, it doesn’t cover much day to day costs, but when you get a $50,000 bill it would cover $42,000.
I know you're being helpful so I don't want to shit on you but that is still unaffordable as fuck for so many people. The ACA is a bandaid applied to a gaping wound.
Yes of course. It all sucks but I’ve seen many lives ruined by avoidable debt.
No, do not get insurance. It is a waste of time and money.
I'm paying a $2000 bill right now. Without insurance, it would be more like $50,000. And a surgery I had last year, they delayed because the insurance company didn't want to cover it at first and we would have to give them $1500 up front. Thankfully, that got taken care of. Still had to pay that $1500 though. I just could pay it in installments.
