She thinks she'll be so flush with resources she can donate money
IRL she'll be struggling to pay rent and stay fed. Probably drives an old civic.
And doesn't America already have public health insurance for poors?

Medicaid in California is 138% of the poverty line so she’d have to be making under 19K for it to be free… then again she’s a self described author so she might be making that little

Does this "free" include major surgeries and things like organ transplants?

Hmm pretty good. So what's the path for those earning over 19k? Private insurance? Doesn't insurance often reject medical proposals, given their shekel-orientated nature?

Your job will provide insurance or reimburse you for your insurance costs unless it's something teenagers should be doing. Even McDonald's will provide health insurance if you're working full time. Once you're old enough and retired you get Medicare. Sometimes insurance will reject things but I've never had it happen to me. I had a bunch of moles removed from my face because I told the doctor I was worried that they were cancerous and that I kept cutting them while I was shaving and all I had to pay was a $25 copay. My annual deductible is $3000, so if I have a heart attack or something that's all I'll have to pay before being 100% covered (and they cover like 80% of the cost before that, so if I'm hospitalized and it costs like 10k I'd only have to pay $2k)

That doesn't seem so bad, I still think insurance companies are the scum of the Earth, though.

It'll be just like the tranch where a large chunk of the animals die because they owner can't afford to care for them.
You're probably thinking of medicaid. Healthcare.gov has insurance plans for poors but they're actually hilarious, like $9000 deductibles and $200/month in premiums.

I really want to believe this isn't a typo and is a reference to the
ranch because calling it a tranch

That health care plan sounds not bad to be honest and is still better than what we have in Canada now (36 hour wait in the ER, never see a doctor, die in hospital bathroom).

With that plan, you would have to pay $11400 before insurance makes a difference, and it will only pay for specific contacted doctors. You're basically throwing away $2400 a year unless you get cancer or an expensive surgery.
Is Canada really that bad?

Also wait times for surgeries like cataracts, hip or knee replacements are generally over a year, as bad as 18 months in some provinces. Our health care is literally shit here.
