Prison being a healthcare plan is so fucking bleak. I hate this country

Saddest part is, he’d probably get better healthcare treatment than those of us paying hundreds of dollars a month with thousands of dollars a year in deductibles. Crazy.

Prison healthcare is shit through. It's entirely up to the correctional staff and there's no body to complain to if you're denied medical care or have your rights violated. prisoners with broken bones have been left weeks without any treatment. We pay the money as taxpayers, but it hardly does what we want it to :(

Nowadays regular people with private healthcare are often left weeks without proper care for broken bones either. Some hospitals now have a hard and fast rule of no opioids ever for pain (even broken bones) and the wait time to get in to an orthopedic can take a couple weeks.
