A World Cup referee is facing the prospects of bankruptcy after suffering the most minor of ailments in the dystopian health-careless shithole of America today.
The soothing pickle juice alone is set to cost the ref hundreds of thousands of dollars if his insurance (if he even has any) weasels out of covering it.
We spoke to an American health care expert who said the man might be fucked,
“The health care system is so broken that even the smallest bit of medical aid will financially cripple anyone. Just last week some kid grazed his knee and the family had to sell the house”
The ref was seen writhing in pain begging players to not let a doctor within 100m of him. With a witness telling The Times,
“America is one of the few places on earth where you’re more scared to receive medical treatment than to just stew in a pool of your own pain. You could really see the fear in his eyes”
Unfortunately for the ref, it’s World Cup protocol to be looked over by a doctor no matter how minor the condition appears to be. It’s not only a good way to line the pockets of health care providers but also of FIFA itself as the doctors no doubt give a kick back to the organisation for the sweet referral.
Stay safe out there.
