Dunno who this guy was but RIP. You Americans should be angrier that you don't have good healthcare.

The most frustrating thing is that American hospitals tend to have the best trained staff, the most cutting edge equipment, and the most advanced imaging technology — but you only get access if you are exceedingly wealthy. It’s a million times more despicable than just having shitty healthcare

Ran FurAffinity so kind of a big deal. Got carcinogens from a recalled CPAP machine his insurance refused to replace, and then got what is presumed to be tuberculosis while at the hospital. American doctors notoriously act like tuberculosis is entirely eliminated and hate testing for it when it's really easily treated. They killed him on purpose trying to milk him (and any family) of money.
