SICK PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
FIGHT TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE


It’s wild how much healthcare depends on the sickest people being the most organized, articulate, relentless version of themselves. As if fatigue comes with a project manager. You’re expected to track every symptom, summarize years of history on command, and politely push back when someone shrugs and says everything looks β€œnormal.” Meanwhile your brain can barely remember your own name or address. Accessing healthcare shouldn’t be rewarded only to people who are well enough to fight for it. The people with the least energy and the least brain power are asked to fight the hardest. It's a broken system.

I feel like saying "I want people to have a place to live and get medical care" isn't controversial here, but reposting MA somehow is

Ohhh I just realized they call it that on the package because people would freak out if they saw the words Sodium ferroCYANIDE on their salt

Apparently it's an anti-caking agent. And don't worry, the cyanide is bound to the iron
