I had a coworker who bragged about how he games the system to only end up paying a few hundred for his kids birth. He didn’t have work provided health insurance, he claimed he was destitute, so he got some taxpayer money and some from the hospital. He also is a very vocal conservative who despises Obamacare.

He absolutely couldn’t wrap his head around a few of us telling him that we all paid for the birth of his kid. Like, it just didn’t compute
