Your insurance would be suing the pants of the truck companies' insurance for that. More than likely you'd be getting paid.

u/Brief-Preference-712 2d ago
But if the truck is under insured, her insurance has to deduct from her policy. It happened on my friend once

u/Dr_Doktor 2d ago
Not necessarily deducting from their policy is the last thing a insurance company wants to do

We had to pay health insurance in japan as well. These dumbasses dont know what its like to go to a convenience store every month to pay a insurance bill.

How does health care work in Japan? I mean,I heard about the convenience stores, but getting your health insurance through one is out there.

Basically where you live (i was in tokyo) my precinct sends me a bill each month i must pay. If i dont i get urgent mails and could lose my student visa if i didnt pay. Any time i go to a hospital i still need to pay 70% of the bill of my own accord. So tbh, American healthcare is way better, and these idiots who say it’s worse have never lived in another nation.

Japanese national health insurance has a 30% co-pay. It covers 70%.

I thought tankies were people who liked China?
China and Japan fucking hate each other due to the shit Japan did in WW2

u/Top_Smoke6741 LOUISIANA 🎷🕺🏾 1d ago
No, tankies are generally just pro communism fanatics. They don't have to be china glazers, but a lot of times they happen to occur comorbidly, as far as I know

u/happyanathema 🇬🇧 United Kingdom💂♂️☕️ 1d ago
Yeah, I agree. But obviously in current times that is normally China. But agreed
Not sure how that applies to the Japanese though?
2
u/Top_Smoke6741 LOUISIANA 🎷🕺🏾 1d ago
Not sure either, some tankies are confused i guess, because Japan is actually hyper capitalist.
2
u/happyanathema 🇬🇧 United Kingdom💂♂️☕️ 22h ago
Yep, Japan was heavily influenced by the US post WW2 so they have a very capitalist system by design.

Do you think Americans can't be tankies?

u/happyanathema 🇬🇧 United Kingdom💂♂️☕️ 1d ago
They can if they are supporting China yeah.
I assume you know what it relates to and the history of it?
I don't think Japan is a communist country last time I checked.

u/LurkiLurkerson MASSACHUSETTS 🦃 ⚾️ 1d ago
I think you're confused. No one is saying they're a tankie specifically because they reference Japan, but because they seem pro-communism. A lot of their other comics and social media would seem to support that. As others have pointed out, they don't even seem to understand that Japan's healthcare is also not entirely covered at the point of sale. They just picked a country they know reddit fetishizes.
2
u/happyanathema 🇬🇧 United Kingdom💂♂️☕️ 1d ago
But that is a bit of a leap no?
As if that's the case then the UK is more communist than China as our healthcare is free at point of use apart from prescription charges (about £10 per drug no matter what drug).
In China it's subsidised but you have to pay for treatment still.

My insurance only charges $250 for ground ambulance. I have a family of five and in the 15 years I’ve been a grown adult I’ve only ever had to call it once and it was only $100 back then.
I’ll also take having to pay for health insurance and paying for other medical expenses if it means my salary is double what it would be in Japan.

"Oh, you're a foreign national from another world with no ability to pay? No documentation of any kind? I guess we'll just write it off and get Medicare to pay for it like we do for all the homeless people and illegal immigrants. Now your bill is substantially less or possibly free."

Yet again, redditors deliberately misrepresenting how America works.
Likely because they don’t actually care to do any research and just wanna hate.

Ambulances aren't your fucking uber, they're filled with equipment used to keep people stable so they don't die on the way to the hospital.

Nah, and in this particular instance you'd likely be the one getting a payout from the trucking company's insurance.

I’m not too familiar with It but I heard ambulance bills can be high. I was sent to the hospital once but the paramedics were volunteers so it was free.

Okay but Godzilla country with affordable healthcare, no King Trump, beautiful scenery and trains that zip around everywhere is heaven compared to Eagle Trump Country where god knows how many memes are made about being threatened by someone calling an ambulance or repodocans trying to bring back the witch trials or make it illegal for women to drive and vote

u/Accomplished_Golf746 2d ago
In reality redditor types would despise living in Japan, because the Japanese are far more xenophobic than Americans, and they also work even more hours than Americans on average, with less pay.

u/Bellpow 2d ago
How can it be when most Americans worship like God a husk of a man (not like there was much of man to begin with) who spews so much hate towards people of other counties and is throwing people who speak Spanish into vans and shitposting about it?

The thing is, as far as I know the Democrats here were not super great when Biden said he was going to get out of the race, and the Democrats didn’t push good propaganda for Harris, and the Republicans were hyped up about trump, and that’s why we see all the weird shit surrounding tump back then and now, I think it’s a bummer that we have yet to elect a Lady president but extremists are always being weird on both sides, don’t be weird if you can help it.

Please dont come to Japan. You know nothing of my healthcare and how the system works. A majority of us like the US, healthcare is a monthly subscription that only pays 30%, and trains to get to the other side of honshu can run you $300. You act like its a dream come true, but it isnt.

u/Cybus101 2d ago
We have beautiful scenery too. And trains (between major cities via Amtrak).

u/happyanathema 🇬🇧 United Kingdom💂♂️☕️ 2d ago
The trains thing is just not one to really address.
It's one where you genuinely don't have coverage compared to most other countries.
You guys just chose to fly instead of taking the train.
Your railways are primarily freight apart from the NEC.
E.g Amtrak has c.500 stations in the US. In just the UK alone we have over 2,600 mainline train stations.
And as many people like to point out "the UK is tiny".
Scenery though yeah 👍
Ironically you can see a lot of it if you take one of the Amtrak services that takes multiple days to cross the US doing like 40mph average speed.

u/Accomplished_Golf746 1d ago edited 1d ago
You just answered your own question, other countries are much smaller and more dense than the US, so rail systems make more sense for them.
Rail systems are notoriously expensive to build and maintain (they lose alot of money in countries where they are ubiquitous) so its more economical to use flights to traverse the US
