I know you have an IV in your arm and electrodes attached to your brain…but do you mind tapping right here to pay your bill?

Yes, folks, that’s where America is at right now…

A TikTokker named Bay posted a video and showed viewers how she got a surprise during a trip to an emergency room.

The video was filmed from a hospital bed and the text overlay reads, “POV: you almost died but you live in America.”

And, wouldn’t you know it: a tap to pay card reader was brought out for her to pay for her treatment while she was still laid up.

USA! USA! USA!
