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'd wager many of us have been both multiple times, over our lives without even realizing it.

    Actually understanding this?, now that's the first step to truly understand.

    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.
