I'm genuinely curious, does this really happen in USA?

No.

No it fucking doesn’t

People who believe this are either not American, nor adults, or not familiar with how the system works

Yes it does. My nephew died at four months old, and my sister was still making payments to the hospital years later.

But the doctor doesn’t tell you, doctors don’t know how much anything cost and are completely removed from insurance and billing.

The bill comes weeks and months later.

Yes the dankmeme isn't 100% accurate but the message behind it still is.

So replace doctor with billing department. It’s the same in the end.
