American Healthcare Is the Real Villain

8. Actual villain of Breaking Bad: The American Healthcare System Lung cancer. Inoperable. "The actual villain of Breaking Bad is American healthcare. In any civilized country, the show lasts for 10 seconds while the doctor tells him, 'You have lung cancer, and this is how we're going to treat it.' You don't have to pay anything."

A still of Walter White from Breaking Bad shows him being told that his lung cancer is inoperable, surrounded by captions arguing that the real villain is the American healthcare system. The joke is that expensive healthcare, rather than Walter’s criminal activities, would be the true antagonist; the meme is used to criticize medical costs and lack of universal healthcare.
