I was out of the Marines, fucked and messed up, it was very hard for me to get a job. The VA was 3 hours away... and I had an asthma attack. I went into a medical center, in a rush they put me on the machine..

15 MINUTES later, and I was done chilling in the waiting room when the nurse came over.. To fill out paper work and pay my $3800 bill, for all 15 minutes.

I laughed, stood up and walked out. You do not have to give your name or SSN at non-priv hospitals, if you need medical attention, it is free.
