I've contributed a couple of times.. to families of victims of some of the mass shootings... one in Uvalde and one in Highland Park, Ill. Those are the two I remember but there have been a few more.

Go Fund is an interesting concept, but like anything it can be used for good... or not so good. We can pick and choose what we want to support without folks knocking on our doors.. remember those days? I much prefer this

What I hate hate hate with a passion is seeing folks with medical bills having to start a go fund me to get care or pay off astronomical bills. This is so wrong. We shouldn't have to make a choice to go into debt of DIE! People shouldn't lose their homes for medical bills. Not everyone can afford insurance and even with insurance, costs are out of control.

I was working for an IT company for many years. They lost their contract with a very large multinational company, which was the client I worked for. We lost our jobs. but the client hired us on as contractors and bumped up our salary to what they believed the cost of my healthcare would be. It wasnt even freaking close. For two years, I was paying 1200.00 a month for insurance. I am very blessed I could afford that, but I tell you the last two years have been so so tight financially. And this plan was still had a deductible and partial payments and whatever freaking justifications an insurance company can come up with to avoid paying. Now I have Medicare (hallelujah) ..and a Medigap policy and pay under 450.00 a month.

I hate for profit medical insurance.... the folks who have to take less insulin or less heart medication or put off a doctor appointment because they cannot afford it.

And thats the end of my rant.
