this kind of makes me want to cry because I was just with my dad in the hospital two days ago, and he put off going to the hospital for weeks…. because we can’t afford it. we thought (as did the ER doctors) it was a heart attack, but we put it off, because we didn’t have insurance and we couldn’t afford it. (we applied for MediCal. hopefully it covers everything).

like?? there’s no reason for things to be expensive. there’s no reason for people to die because they can’t afford to see a doctor. it’s just. extremely upsetting.
