Also, it’s possible to be privileged and have your life wrecked by this system.

Just fucking imagine what it’s like to be underprivileged and never have a chance in the first place.

I’ve been in both positions – dirt poor and couldn’t get care, and also decently well-off (not rich) and still couldn’t get care, even with good insurance.

Now I’m destitute, partly because of health care debt, and am struggling to get any care at all. I seriously feel like the system actively wants me to die.
