Countries that don't have socialized medicine duh?!

Approximately two thirds of the countries in the world don't have socialized medicine/universal health care. So most countries in the world are the kind of people who'd make you pay for a trip to the hospital.

They shouldn't make anyone pay for medicine or anything hospital related. They can't help when they get sick.

Canada started charging for ambulance rides even though we have free health care. It seems unfair to me and I don't think it's right for someone to possibly put of an ambulance ride because they're worried about the cost. I'm pretty sure it's something like $60-$80 too, which is a lot!

Actually Canada's "free" health care isn't actually free. The truth of the matter is that Canadians actually pay a substantial amount for health care through their taxes. But no one really knows how much. And that is the key to the illusion. Instead of using a dedicated health insurance tax that earmarks tax money for the specific purpose of funding health care, the government funds it through general tax revenue -- taking a few dollars from here and there so that it's impossible for families to add up the number for themselves.

"Sorry op, but YDI for not washing your clothes before you wear them " Where in the FML does it actually say that the OP purchased and wore anything? It doesn't. It just says the OP had a reaction to some cat hair on an outfit. That means that the OP could have been trying it on to see if it fit, a thing people generally do before purchase and as such are generally not allowed to wash the clothes beforehand for. The OP also could have just picked the outfit up to consider purchasing it and had a reaction to the fur on it.

The two in my town wash everything they receive. It gets sent to someplace with industrial washers to be cleaned and sorted.

Lucky, none of the four in my town wash/clean anything.

We can't afford to do it at mine. We ask customers to wash before bringing in.

Umm... The FML doesn't actually say or imply that the OP purchased and wore unwashed clothes. It essentially says that while out thrift shopping the OP came in contact with unwashed merchandise on the thrift store shelves and had an allergic reaction that sent her to the ER.

Seriously? This is the 5th comment in a row stating the exact same thing. Doesn't anyone read the comments before theirs to see if there's no point to writing a comment everyone else has made? :/ Plus, as the person before me mentioned, and the people responding to the 5 comments before it with the same statement; there's a very good chance op didn't buy the clothes but merely touched it in the store. That really sucks that you had to go to the ER op. I can't imagine how scary it would be to not be able to breathe! Glad you're ok and I really hope you stay away from thrift stores seeing as there's probably a lot of cat hair in them.

But if it's all she can afford what's supposed to do, go naked?

Big department stores have a clearance section. Sometimes clothes can have a huge discount just so the store can get rid of them.

You're a bit late. That's already been posted.
