I live in an area so red that if you saw it you’d say it was bleeding. The people here always, and I mean always, talk about how wrong it is for someone to act as a vigilante, and murder is wrong, and the insurance companies might be not-the-best, but it’s no excuse… bla bla bla. They think the woman here is in the wrong, and don’t even care.
See the recent slew of posts about the new york times for the conservative take on the issue.
I’ve lost several friends who couldn’t afford cancer treatments. I have one now who is looking for some help because their current insurance doesn’t cover excision of diseased organ, and open enrollment is over.
Thank you so much for your kindness, it is so meaningful in the right way. I am sorry you lost your dad. Insurance is no guarantee of anything, but it does help ease financial burdens. It’s touching that a boss of an employee of one year had the kindness and compassion to cover your dad.
No, neither party wants to rush the wrath of the owning class, and to be honest, I have a hard time imagining politicians will work toward meaningful changes until we fix the fact that an owning class exists. It’s our tax dollars, yet we have crumbling education, crumbling health, crumbling physical infrastructure, crumbling postal service, and “too big to fail” corporate interests, which if they had failed, would have tanked theglobal economy, not only our own.
It’s almost like most people have depth and nuance, but are so mired in bs, that has to be moved away from ourselves to see it in others, even in ourselves, sometimes.
We can hope, but getting mad and channeling that answer to working together for common causes is probably a good idea. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. If be honored to work alongside you, in spirit, since proximity is an immediate issue.
Wishing you all the best.
