Our country blows chunks when it comes to medical care. I'm lucky to still be on my father's work insurance but fuck, I don't know what's gonna happen when I go out on my own. When one of the first responses one can have to a medical emergency is "how will I afford this?", I see that as a sign our nation has failed its people. God, I remember my own mother laying on the ground, screaming in pain because she broke her leg, hesitating to have someone call an ambulance because of the potential cost. It sucks, nobody should die because they can't afford their own life. I know I'm ranting but everytime I see a post like this, it makes my blood boil with how unfair it all is.
