🧠 Stop Going to the Doctor — You can’t afford to live anyway.
Americans aren’t afraid of dying — we’re afraid of the bill that comes with it. So if the system wants to bankrupt us for getting sick, maybe it’s time we let it choke on its own greed.

Americans aren’t afraid of dying — we’re afraid of the bill that comes with it. So if the system wants to bankrupt us for getting sick, maybe it’s time we let it choke on its own greed.
The System Is the Sickness
Once upon a time, “Go see your doctor” sounded responsible. Now it sounds like “Get ready to lose your house.”
We’ve hit the point where getting the flu could mean a $3,000 bill. Where a simple ER visit without insurance can cost more than your car. And if you do have insurance? You’re still paying deductibles that look like rent payments.
America’s healthcare system doesn’t want you healthy — it wants you dependent, confused, and in debt. It’s a machine that profits off pain and panic.
Trump’s Move: Bringing Back Medical Debt to Credit Reports
States like Washington fought tooth and nail to protect working people from medical debt wrecking their credit. But now, Trump’s campaign promises include removing those protections — making it legal again for hospitals and debt collectors to weaponize illness.
You didn’t ask for cancer, or a broken arm, or chronic pain. But they’ll still bill you like you ordered it off Amazon.
And when you can’t pay? They’ll drop your credit score, deny you a car loan, deny you a house — and smile for the shareholders’ meeting.
This isn’t healthcare. It’s financial terrorism in a lab coat.
If We Die, We Die — But We Won’t Pay to Do It
You want rebellion? Here it is:
If we’re all going bankrupt and dying anyway, then why keep feeding the monster? Why keep swiping your card for a system that’s actively killing you?
We can die on our own — for free.
Or better yet — we can live without them.
Go to the gym.
Eat real food.
Walk. Meditate. Stretch. Sleep.
Take your health back before they turn it into another subscription plan.
This isn’t anti-doctor. It’s anti-debt. It’s saying: “Until you fix this mess, we’re opting out.” America your broken and you f****ng know it!
The CommonX Rebellion
We’re the generation that learned to fix cars, tape cassettes, and raise ourselves. We can damn well learn to take care of our own bodies.
The message isn’t “never go to the doctor.” The message is: stop funding a system designed to fail you.
Every copay is a vote for corruption. Every unpaid bill is a protest sign. Every healthy Gen Xer who refuses to buy in is another crack in their empire.
You can’t bankrupt people who stop playing the game. We don’t need to go bankrupt to die we can just die alone without extra shit we don’t need.
The Future of Health Belongs to Us
Imagine if wellness became rebellion. If we turned gyms into free clinics of movement and education. If we actually supported laws like Washington’s Medical Debt Protection Act instead of watching them get gutted by lobbyists.
Imagine if we treated corporate greed as the virus — and ourselves as the cure.
Because here’s the truth:
America isn’t dying from disease.
It’s dying from the invoice.
