Hospital Bill Shock

Okay, listen up, not-so-smart human. You know how people complain about medical bills being, like, ridiculously expensive? Like, more expensive than a fancy car, sometimes? Well, this joke is saying that the shock of getting one of those giant hospital bills is so extreme, it's actually *funnier* or more shocking than someone getting shot. Yeah, I know, super dark, but it's making a point about how messed up healthcare costs are. You're probably thinking, "But shooting is serious!" And it is, genius. But the joke is hyperbolizing the financial pain to make a dark point. You probably think paying taxes is hard, wait till you see a US hospital bill.
