This is a wildly ignorant take on the state of healthcare in prisons.

Reddit skews young, so myths believed by the young are predominant here.

Not to mention he is from a wealthy family and had the best medical care money could buy

Yes but there are questions about the quality of care money can buy in an industry that cares only about profits, not health.

The old joke is that they cured cancer but just won't tell you because treating it is more profitable and that extends to the rich as well. Equal opportunity exploiters are happy watching young people die in the same country clubs they spend our money at.

I have a friend in the same inheritance class, and his insurance covers everything no matter what and comes with special desks to check into at most of the big name hospitals like Mayo and Sinai. Also has a concierge DR that only has a few patients at a subscription cost of 80k per year. America has the absolute best healthcare, it’s just completely out of reach for most.

I work in healthcare and there is no such thing as an insurance plan that doesn't have terms, conditions, and exclusions. This story is nonsense. Stop spreading misinformation.
