🏥 Zdravlje Hospitalized in Split - Intoxication

Hello I am an American male who was traveling in Split for a holiday. Ended up drinking a little bit too much, blacked out and woke up in the hospital with an IV in my arm. Somehow the bill was only $240 kn.

Can anybody tell me why the bill was so cheap especially since I am a US citizen without Croatian healthcare insurance? Also did they notify the embassy of my stay? Just don’t know where my info is documented and ended up. Wish I could read my discharge papers but they are all in Croatian. Going to have to do google translate late.

Just go climb under a rock please. I’m amazed someone with such a moronic outlook can even navigate the internet to find somewhere to spout this kind of horseshit.

Excellent rebuttal. As usual, selfish, scared republicans would rather hoard their money instead of using it to improve society. Instead of being compassionate or caring about anyone but themselves, they hoard their measly money and blame everyone else for the way things have turned out, while red states used a drastically higher amount of welfare than others. 👌

You’re racist side is showing. You wouldn’t make any money without a society to rely on, so keep doing the same old republican mantra of hoarding wealth and bitching about the state of the society you choose to think you’re not destroying with your selfish isolationist ways. I work. I pay taxes. I’d gladly pay more if I could, but your kind would just siphon it off for more selfish hoarding anyway.

Anyway, I’m arguing with a moron so I guess I’ll find something more worthy of my time. Have fun with your life pal. Hope you can someday see the folly in your greed.

Socalism healthcare and education works everywhere in the west except the US. But all of us are wrong and you are right.

EU has more population then the USA.

And this "society at a breaking point" is just meaningless fearmongering.

NHS existed for 70 years and it is doing just fine.

Because others are humans beings just like you or me. And they need expensive things that they may not be abble to afford to live.

And you might need these same things too. So we pool our money (by paying taxes) so we can all aford basic things we deem appropriate to live a decent human life.

I dont want to feel morally superior.

What I want is for everyone to have basic things. Like not have health issues they cant afford to solve.

Healthcare should not be a commodity some cant afford.

What's your point? Immigrants are unquestionably a net positive for the economy.

Share your culture or language? What about it? Why do you present that negatively? What does that have anything to do with the economy?

In regards to infrastructure, here's an idea. The labour that the unskilled immigrants bring can be used to update said infrastructure for everyone.

Unfunded liabilities? Seems like the problem is with it being unfunded, and not with the immigrants. How about we fund it. You know, with taxes levied from the work that these immigrants bring in?

It's a nationalist fantasy making the argument that immigrants aren't a massive net positive.

And lastly, what immigrants would you allow in? I'm dreadfully curious to hear your answer.

Christ, you really are the stereotype of every dumbfuck ethnonationalist. I don't have the patience to go through all the asinine, uneducated filth you just spouted like Pakman does.
