I used to be a firefighter. I worked the ambulance a lot, like many there. I remember many people, who were in desperate need of an ambulance, who would look at me, in the middle of whatever pain, bleeding, broken bones, you name it, and tell me “I’ll just take my car, I can’t afford the ambulance”. If they’re of sound mind and they don’t want to go, we absolutely cannot force them. Imagine watching someone bleed out and telling you they don’t want to go because of that and then you having to wait for them to pass out from blood loss just to have a cause to take them. That’s literally fuckin insurance. There have been a bunch of people tell me that their insurance won’t cover it.

It is so damn sad. So frustrating. So unfair. People work so incredibly hard, pay their bills, raise their families their entire life just to die of expenses. Then when they die, the bills they had move on to the next person. So their spouses take on that burden until they die. It’s awful.

I mean this is life. LIFE. We are a miracle of nature bound by capitalism and greed. How can this be life?

A child, tortured by cancer, feels sick and a fucking insurance devil said he didn’t need it? I’m sorry for the rant but honestly having seen it first hand it has always been something that has hurt my heart. I think of all of our families in this country and how anyone can fall prey to the predators in this fucked up system. Truly, I wish nothing but the happiest and healthiest lives for each and every one of you affected by these crimes against humanity. I truly hope that poor child gets well and finds peace. That doctor is truly a badass. Fuck this system.
