After his Honorable Discharge from the US Army the only job my cousin Donald D could find was at Home Depot.
He could not afford the health insurance.
He got sick on a Friday. My uncle took him to a hospital emergency room. He was not admitted.
He returned to the ER on Saturday and Sunday. He was not admitted either time.
On Monday he died of viral meningitis.
He was 25 years old.
Home Depot made $856 million in profits that year.
Donald D was the 99%.
how many times?
healthcare is a human right.
healthcare. for. all.
i could never understand how healthcare (and education for that matter) was not free in the US and how people could be against something as crucial as this. just recently i saw “sicko” and i think i kind of understand the reasoning behind it a little bit better now, but really… no, i justo don’t get it.

I don’t think hospitals have any right to turn people away if they can’t afford it, especially if it’s life-threatening
