    Can you believe it? In the richest country in the world, people are forced to use their hard-earned vacation days just to see a doctor. It’s like a bad joke, but it’s the reality for so many hardworking Americans. There’s something seriously messed up with the way we’ve set up our system. It’s supposed to be the land of opportunity, but it feels more like the land of “fend for yourself.” Sure, if you’re a billionaire, life is pretty sweet. But for the rest of us? We’re left wondering if this is really what the American Dream is supposed to look like. It’s time we take a long, hard look at what we value as a society and start putting people first. Because at the end of the day, no one should have to choose between their health and a much-needed break from the daily grind.
