Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- 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).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have some of the only socialized healthcare in th US and it is unbelievable. If I was badly injured, I could take an ambulance to the ER and get an x-ray, EKG, and medicine all for around $200 out of pocket. That's orders of magnitude less than average for an American. We need to make these programs available for everyone regardless of income, status, or employer.
What was the 200 for?
Total cost of ambulance plus ER visit

I have to get it back in order, but with MediCal I never had to pay for anything. The real downsides are they will just drop you without informing you (I only found out I wasn't insured when I had to do my SAR-7 interview a few months ago for SNAP) and you're forced to use a limited number of doctor networks which are some of the worst rated networks ever, so seeing a doctor takes months and even then you may not actually see one.
Also, I am going to have to go to a physical office to reapply because the website does not freaking work anymore.
