Medical debt is a sign of a broken system

Something that would be unnecessary if we had universal healthcare.

By golly, that's almost....biblical.

Church members disagree on what qualifies as a person but agree that medical debt is bad because it affects them directly. Do your fucking job.

Late stage capitalism

That’s what we call an orphan-crushing machine story

Awesome!

This brings to my mind the great piece written by Steven Brill, Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us share.google/tLuyVqp9xCGU...

That people who don’t have a program in their state must be getting absolutely crushed by medical debt, and probably that is also true in Michigan.

Some think minorities should be put in concentration camps where they’re forced to work for free, some think that’s not a good idea, but both think raising money for people in crippling debt because of a health condition is a feel-good story instead of the dystopian nightmare it is.
