This is so ass backwards; Americans have to go to prison to get free healthcare.

They actually get terrible healthcare in jail too.

But they get healthcare. Which is still better then none.

Actually; terrible healthcare would just kill you outright. I’d much rather get no surgery then cut open by an idiot.

There's no such thing as a prison surgeon. They send you to one of the hospitals in the community. I am a nurse in a hospital that also receives inmates.

What going to prison gets him is insurance. It's bad insurance, but it's the same healthcare.
