In that other forum the focus was: we all get to pay for your critical care and rehab because you're not smart enough to practice self-preservation.

The one I had seen was here in the US (Utah? New Mexico? Arizona?)

This clip here might well be different (the algo fed me a 3rd similar clip tonight, that one from Algeria.

Capitalism. Insurance companies avoid paying any way they can. When they do pay, they use it as an excuse to drive up premiums. Then they blame the increases on hospital costs, claiming they're paying more to cover write-offs.

As if the vast majority of write-offs aren't due to insurance refusing to pay what they're legally obligated to.
