If I don't have healthcare, I will die. Literally

hah! well, comparitively i have nothing to complain about. i just went to the urgent care joint up the street and had them shoot me in the ass with some antibiotics. oh the look of horror on the chicks face when i told her i was paying with CASH. $85 bucks later i can barely feel below my waist. i was expecting worse; maybe that's the sickest part

Honestly, it would probably have to be 100 people doing it (but not all at once.. that's just mass hysteria, not a sadistic, cash-driven system at fault) for them to even care. Even then, it would be lip service for months, a few poorly worded reactionary laws to stop the high-profile deaths from happening, and nothing done to fix the problem at its source. Just like school shootings.
