Finally, Healthcare. Don't even try to debate me on this one. I am a year two stage 4 cancer patient. I have spent more time in hospitals and doctor offices than most will ever see in their entire lives. I hear straight from the horse's mouth what healthcare has become. I am currently waiting to have yet another tumor removed. Live, living, breathing Cancer. This particular tumor you can see through my skin. It has roughly doubled in size in the last 5 weeks. Nobody cares. I have to wait until the wonderful government finally finds and forces a doctor to do the surgery to remove active Cancer. I am in year 2 of a journey of which I have been given a 6% chance of living 5 years or longer. Yeah, healthcare is wonderful. I would be better off being a foreign citizen. I would get better care.

 

 

This makes me so sad, Dakota. I am so sorry you're going through this. You're in my prayers. 

 

And you're right about the state of healthcare. Friends of mine had their premiums go up 1000% from last year and they were on one of the exchanges. Needless to say they had to drop it. Others I know are getting treated the same as you but for different conditions. My husband's uncle was just diagnosed with colon cancer last week and they're already wondering how treatment is going to go because they've heard stories like yours and others.
