    That’s… horrifying. I’m in and out of hospitals, but when my disease kills me, if it kills me, it’ll be a quick, “Your body fucked up extra hard for a few days out of the year, and we couldn’t get to you in time” rather than a progressive degeneration. I’m at risk, but I also have an okay chance of surviving the fuckery of the next few years, even if not as okay a chance as I’d like. Or as I’d’ve had if my countrymen weren’t a bunch of cretins.

    Don’t rightly know what to say, other than that you - and I suppose, all of us - deserve better. Our shitty for-profit healthcare benefits neither the sick nor society as a whole. It’s a parasitic malady in its own right to make a few ticks fat on our blood. And the death toll just keeps increasing.

      Thanks, I just have to make peace with it, honestly. I’m still in the denial/ anger stage, unfortunately. It feels unfair.

      I’m glad you can make it through. Hang in there, and I hope you can enjoy the time you have.

      None of us should have to deal with this in the most affluent country in the world, especially when we have more to contribute, and especially when a few greedy cunts are siphoning our resources into a dragon hoard they couldn’t possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes. It’s obscene.

      I will die at the altar of their greed. I had much more to do, much more to invent and write and think, but a few dollars they can’t even spend was worth more than my life. So be it.

        It is unfair. Fuck every one of these people for doing this to you, and double-fuck every one of those doctors for breaking their oaths. They owed you better.
