Recently had a very personal and active role in someone's journey of discovering they had cancer to eventually dying from it.

Every step of the way I was left speechless and horrified at how little her "insurance" was willing to cover, at how we were denied what I consider to be even the most basic degree of care for someone going through the painful, boring, terrifying, demeaning descent towards the end of her life. How many dozens and dozens and dozens of times I had to console her daughter, frantic and crying in disbelief that not only was she losing her mother, but also that we were constantly having to question our ability to afford the care she was being given, never for a single moment being able to wrestle with the tragedy of cancer killing her mother without also having to stare down the constantly rising cost of merely a fraction of the care that she both needed and deserved.

So uh yeah, fuck this guy and everyone like him. Fuck this whole system and everyone who benefits from the unfathomable scope of suffering it wreaks upon innumerable individuals and the people who love them.

Rot in hell, loser.
