This isn't about me, but this is about someone close to me.
Basically, she's in her late 30's, been working most of her life so far. She has a good paying job, works full time, and sinks all her money into insurance, medical bills, and the medication required to keep her generally function enough to work.
Work is destroying her body, and requires constant medication, therapy, and insanely expensive 30 minute procedures ever couple of months just to manager her pain and to provide her enough functionality to do her job, with work restrictions.
The system is draining her for everything she has. Her sick time, her savings, her vacation time, her spare time, all of it going to feed the greedy medical and capitalistic sink whole that we were born into.
We're legitimately trying to figure out how to move to another country just to be able to provide her medical coverage.
Even with my help, she's falling behind and eventually will not be able to pay for her medical bills anymore, in which case she will be disabled by being poor as she won't be able to get her treatments to keep her going.
This is making me sick. I'm angry. I'm so tired of this country.
Why are people voting for leaders who leave us to die once they've wrung us of every cent they can??
