Doctor Bills American Joke

Doctor (n.) A person who kills your ills with pills then kills you with bills. I'm sorry, is this some sort of American joke that i'm too European to understand?

A dictionary-style definition says that a doctor cures your illnesses with pills and then kills you with medical bills. Below, a confused European-looking man asks whether this is an American joke he is too European to understand, humorously mocking expensive American healthcare and the wordplay between “ills,” “pills,” and “bills.”
