A post by:
@jeremyctReads:
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.@VeroniqueB99
Continued:He told me he's not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away. They did everything right. Two incomes. No debt.
Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter. -

@VeroniqueB99 “These people” (1%’s) are really going to FAFO when the rest of us (99%’s) decide collectively that we’ve had enough. It will happen eventually, we just don’t know when.

A child is suffering and fighting for survival. After spending their whole lives working for their child's wellbeing, after seven months, the parents realise that it was all in vain. Meanwhile, someone else is profiting from all this misfortune.

That would not happen in Canada but you would probably have to weight longer for knee or hip surgery.
