  • I would say it’s not so much that they managed to, it’s that they could afford to spend less money. You cannot afford good food, so you eat crappy food and get sick, so you have to go to the doctor. You cannot afford good insurance, so you have to spend a ludicrous amount to get good care that will fix the problem, but you cannot afford that, so instead of a one time charge, you now have the worse prescription that still costs a bit, and it doesn’t even keep you healthy, it just keeps you moving forward, barely. Because of your condition, you now can’t even work as well as you could, so you get paid even less, all the while your health is deteriorating because the medicine you can already barely afford isn’t actually what you really need.

    How the fuck do you get out of that on your own?
