The price for freedom-and-democracy is steep.

Also thanks, econony

    just pay cash, go to mexico for big stuff, and roll the dice on going bankrupt in an emergency which would happen even with insurance

        kkkanada is almost absurdly permissive for this since a new law passed in December 2025. If you can produce an unbroken chain of documents showing descent from a Canadian ancestor you’re eligible, no matter how many generations back they are. Of course it gets harder in the 1800s due to lack of documentation, but even baptismal records are supposed to be acceptable

        MFW I am ONE generation too distant to get anti-italian-action citizenship….but also do your homework to make sure you’re not going to another fucked situation. Meloni is a chud in her own right, to keep up the Italy example.

          Yeah chuds are everywhere but Amerikkka is still the only halfway developed nation with a health insurance scam that will bleed you for half your income before it even starts paying anything out

          They calculated recent changes to cut out the majority of US citizens of Italian descent. Not that I blame them, as much I would’ve liked to take advantage myself. Who would want everyone from Jersey and Long Island to flood their country?

          I heard about someone getting his grandfather posthumous Italian citizenship, then because he was two gens from an Italian citizen, he could then qualify.

          So you could still pull it off!

    People are getting fucked by the price hike in my state, for a lot of poor people it makes more sense to not have insurance and try and save for out of pocket care
