    I’m dying from cancer too. But I live in Australia, so the care, attention and support is very good. We even have voluntary assisted dying (VAD) for when the medication and pain relief are overwhelmed. I chose to live here even though i had a job offer to move to the us years ago. One of the primary reasons was the us healthcare industry.

    Its horrible to say, but I have little sympathy for united states citizens because ‘they know better’ and have the ‘best healthcare industry the world’ so they voted for drumpf.

    picture a little violin.

        Trump is only a figurehead to who is really running the show. You know it’s not that moron doing anything. He couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag

        True. 🇺🇲 is a scam. Sometimes its better to be a little on the side of broke and qualify for financial assistance. That way your ER visit will only be $300 (including drugs 💊)

      No only a ⅓ of the population for him unless you believe like I do that he cheated. I’ll never believe he won without cheating

      Sorry to hear that. Hopefully treatable

      I was actually going to mention that here in Australia, everyone gets public health insurance at a minimum.

      However, even private insurance is probably cheap compared to US, because it needs to be somewhat competitive
