Plankton: That was almost too easy!
Nega Timmy: Congratulations on taking over the U.S. healthcare system, you four.
Calamitous: All it took was a little elbow grease
…and a comically large Doomsday device
Nega Timmy: So what’s your plan now?
Vlad: We’ll do what we do best! We are going to make it evil!
Plankton: We’ll start by squeezing the cash out of the chronically sick by charging exorbitant prices for their medicine.
Crocker: Diabetics will have to pay us 100-
Vlad: No, 200 dollars for their insulin.
Nega Timmy: They already do that.
All of the Syndicate: What?
Nega Timmy: Insulin already cost at least that much.
Calamitous: Really? 200 dollars?
Nega Timmy: It’s closer to 300.
Plankton: Wow. Okay. Diabolical. Guess the U.S. beat us to the punch there.
Nega Timmy: They certainly beat you to punching Diabetics.
Crocker: It’s fine. We have plenty of other great, evil ideas.
Vlad: Next, we’ll make treatment impossible to access, by ensuring the hospitals are understaffed. And we’ll do this by limiting the number of people who are even allowed to become doctors.
Nega Timmy: They do that too.
Calamitous: What? There’s no way.
Nega Timmy: Do you remember having to do a residency to become a doctor?
Calamitous: Well, I’m not really a doctor exactly a science professor more like it. I have a Ph.D. in women’s studies.
Nega Timmy: Women’s Studies?
Plankton: Being an evil dictator doesn’t exclude any of us from being a feminist, Timothy!
Nega Timmy: Right, Well… You have to complete a residency at a hospital to become a physician. But the funds for hiring residents are provided by the U.S. government. So the number of available residency programs (thus doctors)… is decided by congress’ budget.
Plankton: So not only did they already do our evil thing… they did it in a more sinister and subtle way.
Vlad: I’m not sure if we should be proud of our country or disgusted by it.
Calamitous: Seems as though We’ll have to do some truly despicable to defeat the U.S. government. In that case, we’ll make sure that the only people who can even afford healthcare are the ones who work for companies that benefit our economic interests!
Nega Timmy: That’s called Insurance.
Plankton: …Uh, and… We’ll let the hospitals deny treatment entirely to those who don’t have the correct insurance.
Nega Timmy: *Stares at them Silently*
Nega Timmy: You have some tough competition.
Vlad: They’ve already done every evil thing. Next you’re going to tell us the hospitals are straight-up racist.
Nega Timmy: Funny you should say that. According to recent research-
Calamitous: Stop! I don’t wanna know! Ugh, all this information makes me feel like I’m gonna have to a heart attack.
Nega Timmy: Should I call an ambulance?
Vlad: No! it’ll cost too much.
Plankton: Screw this! We can’t be more cartoonishly evil than the United States’ healthcare system. And all of us are literally cartoon villains!
Nega Timmy: So what will you do?
Vlad: We’re just going to have to take over something pure and free of corruption. Like uh… The U.S. educational system!
Nega Timmy and Crocker: Ooof.
