Not like, casual “Hi, how are you?” but seriously, how are you? Are you sleeping okay, is everything in your personal life going all right? And if not, can Internet strangers do anything to help?

    Expect a lot of fearful people who are expecting their medicaid to get cut and lose access to healthcare.

    As someone with cancer, that’s what I’m going through.

    Not much can be done. The suffering is the point. The majority will not stand up for people like me.

      I’m definitely expecting a lot of fear, I know I’m pretty terrified myself.

      I’m so sorry, you just shouldn’t have to worry about your healthcare being dropped randomly, especially not in the middle of treating something. I hate that I can’t make your situation any better, I’m just sorry you’re facing that.

        I’m in the USA, I’ve been seeing this harrowing bullshit for a long time. Long before it affected me personally. I’ve been angry about it for a long time. Nothing changes, everything gets worse. I’m just a statistic. It is what it is.

        Thank you for the kindness, however. The kindness does matter.
