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.
TheWeirdestCunt ( @TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee ) English55•9 months agoI 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).
Samus Crankpork ( @Crankpork@beehaw.org ) 2•9 months agoIs it bad I can’t even tell which commonwealth country you’re talking about?
bionicjoey ( @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ) 53•9 months agoJoin forces with a former student and cook meth in the back of a Winnebago
Sounds like a plan, Jesse
bionicjoey ( @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ) 8•9 months agoJesse! We need to COOK!
Chahk ( @chahk@beehaw.org ) 3•9 months agoBITCH!
Martin ( @mundane@feddit.nu ) 36•9 months agoI don’t worry about money since the treatment is free and sick people get money from the government during recovery.
DirigibleProtein ( @DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone ) 11•9 months agoAustralia. 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?
Martin ( @mundane@feddit.nu ) 14•9 months agoSweden
PlexSheep ( @PlexSheep@feddit.de ) 13•9 months agoGermany at least, probably the whole EU too.
TrenchcoatFullOfBats ( @TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip ) 12•9 months agoNorway
redballooon ( @redballooon@lemm.ee ) 7•9 months agoPretty much any developed country.
slacktoid ( @slacktoid@lemmy.ml ) English25•9 months agoStart a fundraising email chain for Trumps legal defense and mass mail it.
Galaxy brain over here
slacktoid ( @slacktoid@lemmy.ml ) English2•9 months agoif its good enough for him, its good enough for cancer.
FARTYSHARTBLAST ( @FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social ) 18•9 months agoSneak into a country with public healthcare I guess, maybe steal the identity of someone if they won’t treat a stranger.
intensely_human ( @intensely_human@lemm.ee ) 5•9 months agoWhy yes I am Costa Rican
jmcs ( @jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•9 months agoLots 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.
aard ( @aard@kyu.de ) 4•9 months agoI 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.
jmcs ( @jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•9 months agoThe 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.
FARTYSHARTBLAST ( @FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social ) 2•9 months agoCan’t just go there on vacation?
jmcs ( @jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•9 months agoTouristic 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.
HeckGazer ( @HeckGazer@programming.dev ) 18•9 months agoGo 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
Ignacio [he/him] ( @Ignacio@beehaw.org ) 16•9 months agoLaughs in Spanish from Spain.
lemmyng ( @lemmyng@beehaw.org ) 15•9 months agoSeriously? You wouldn’t do crime to live?
lemmyng ( @lemmyng@beehaw.org ) 6•9 months agoI’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?
ɐɥO ( @Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz ) 14•9 months agoI would do nothing. Healthcare is free here
smellythief ( @smellythief@beehaw.org ) 1•9 months agoTell us where so op can move there if it comes to that.
PerogiBoi ( @PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca ) 12•9 months agoCreate a fake news website and make sure there’s a floating donate button on every page.
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.
FrostyCaveman ( @FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee ) 11•9 months agoDie of anxiety long before the cancer gets me, lol
noisypine ( @noisypine@infosec.pub ) English7•9 months agoDivorce 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.
redballooon ( @redballooon@lemm.ee ) 7•9 months agoAssuming I know some chemistry, I’d cook some crystal meth.
Chahk ( @chahk@beehaw.org ) English4•9 months agoI’d so watch a TV show about that!
Iunnrais ( @Iunnrais@lemm.ee ) 5•9 months agoI continue working in Japan and have it covered by national insurance.
dumdum666 ( @dumdum666@kbin.social ) 5•9 months agoPfff… you are probably just someone that scours the internet for new twists and ideas in the name of big Hollywood-Studios since those pesky SAG-AFTRA people refuse to work, huh? /s
