(blank npc face) "its terrible how bad health insurance is lol, I wonder who is responsible for this??? Anyway we need to support Hillary Clinton or Liz Warren, not Bernie"

health insurance disaster film

it sucks so much how this is a common genre of art nowadays, I can name several movies about people trying to lie or cheat or threaten they way to getting healthcare, you could literally do a podcast about all these late capitalist narratives of working class struggle. :agony:

    Healthcare crisis is super useful as a character motivation.

    1. It’s relatable as it can happen to any of us.
    2. Easily understood.
    3. It's tragic
    4. It shows an unfair system which makes it okay for a character to break norms.
    5. It’s great motivation for wanting a lot of money, fast, without the character being “greedy”.
