Assume you’re life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you.
Also assume you’ve exhausted all ethical fundraising options, i.e. GoFundMe, loans, etc. and that insurance won’t cover treatment for whatever reason.
I live in Canada, I’m good.
You don’t need money to receive treatment in the US. But to answer the prompt, I’d just rob a bank with a note and no weapon. Immediately surrender when the police arrive and spend the next few years in prison getting 100% free healthcare
Join forces with a former student and cook meth in the back of a Winnebago
Sounds like a plan, Jesse
I would do nothing. Healthcare is free here
Tell us where so op can move there if it comes to that.
I don’t worry about money since the treatment is free and sick people get money from the government during recovery.
Australia. 3 years of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants, multiple X-rays, CT and MRI scans, now in remission, didn’t have to pay for any of it.
Which country?
Pretty much any developed country.
Collect a bunch of broken laptops, fill the hard drive with pics of dude’s 69’ing and sell them for $2,000 each on Ebay as “Hunter Biden’s Laptop”.
While I don’t care what two consenting adults do, the people obsessed with Hunter do get bent out of shape over anyone gay, so it would be entertaining to make them look through many such images looking for whatever evidence they think they will find.
Alternatively, and more likely, I’d get over my moral qualms about selling questionable tr*mp/rightwing gear to idiots.
Sad that the list of horrible circumstances necessary for such a hypothetical really needs to include 'lives in the US."
Yeah. Yeah…
I continue working in Japan and have it covered by national insurance.
I don’t think stealing would be the hard part. Selling the goods would be. To steal large sum I guess I will drive a stolen car through a jewellery store’s window. I believe this had fairly high success rate with Romanian gangs doing this many times in France and getting away with it. To steel a car I would look for someone leaving it running while and getting out to for a moment. I think I would be able to find one in a couple of weeks. Than smash the widow, grab what I can and run. Risky but if I’m dying anyway it would be worth trying. Turning it into cash would be very difficult though.
You could always hawk it as new on Ebay.
Where I live police monitors those things. They will even check pawn shop inventory for jewellery reported as stolen and you have to show an ID to pawn anything. You would have to sell it to some random guys on the street which would be risky.
Sell it in another country or online.
Assuming I know some chemistry, I’d cook some crystal meth.
Go to a hospital and get it treated. I assume this is some third world health care bait though, as it’s missing which country the hypothetical is happening in
I just get treatment because I live in a country that actually provides its citizens with healthcare (even if the Tories want to get rid of that).
Finish that “non-violence is ineffective” essay (it’s dense). Join the collective on the front lines. Results: A) we gather steam and ultimately succeed. B) martyrdom gives my death meaning. C) prison provides healthcare and three squares. D) prison is so awful that we revisit B.
Seriously? You wouldn’t do crime to live?
I’ve had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I’d rather go out on my own terms.
Plus, any kind of money making scheme I’d think of is likely going to end up like the “aim for the bushes” scene in The Other Guys.
Even for cancers with high survival rates, like skin or breast cancer?
Pfff… you are probably just someone that scours the internet for new twists and ideas in the name of big Hollywood-Studios since those pesky SAG-AFTRA people refuse to work, huh? /s
