"This kidney transplant is available to you at a low, low price of $2999.99/month.
Subject to repossession if you miss any payments!"

The movie Repo Men from 2010 immediately jumps to mind.

"Set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the run before said ticker is repossessed."

Repo! The Genetic Opera vibes right there. Also topical because Anthony head just died

This was a good sci-fi movie at release, never knew it would be predicting the future on some level.

The megacorporation GeneCo provides organ transplants on a payment plan. Clients who miss payments are hunted down by Repo Men, skilled assassins who "repossess" the organs
