"If you have an FCP, they pay your bill for you. If you don’t, you eat free."

I've paid massive emergency-room bills. The author and publisher (apparently not the same person) are morons if they believe it.

I don't mean to endorse the ideas. I will be publishing an article arguing the opposite position as well.

But it is poorly written and a bad analogy.

I can't think of a situation where I needed fried chicken to prevent my child from dying.

What is the proposed benefit of publishing badly researched articles making weak arguments for both sides?

They will hound you for ER bills until you're bankrupt. I saw a significant other dragged through years of both ill-health and debt-collectors in that situation.
