    Imagine never seeing certain people again, and then being told that I’m the one who’s privileged because I have the audacity to complain about it.

    Dad had a heart attack right in front of me. He was complaining about chest pains a few days earlier but didn’t want a hospital bill. I’ve never been the same person since.

      I’m so sorry. I can only imagine the pain.

      We have the ability to provide access to basic healthcare to our citizens, but we choose not to. And we have very few politicians who support universal healthcare. It’s unconscionable.
