The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Your comment started quite the debate here. Everyone needs to slow down and realize there's insurance on the machine and the insurance even covers morons with guns. Might the insurance company go after her? Sure, they'd probably sue her homeowner's insurance, because when in doubt that seems to be what happens. They'd never go after the individual for this, unless it was maybe intentional.

Hospital goers will foot the bill regardless, because that's what we do here in the good old US of A.

The end of your comment is where I was focusing before. Insurance is a for-profit business. Rates most certainly go up for the hospital, which gets transferred to other patients. Reference: worked with hospitals, medical devices, and insurance.
