Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

here in the US, we pay for health insurance, not healthcare – to stretch the metaphor, you’re not subscribing for hugs, you’re subscribing for a chance to claim a hug at some future date – if you qualify and you don’t have a pre-existing condition

Putting it into the metaphor makes it so much worse.

Here, subscribe for a chance to claim a hug in the event you might need a hug, but if you need a special hug you are more than likely not going to get it, and if you have ever needed a hug in the past then you can't get the subscription.
