The money spent gatekeeping medical care could just go to medical care. It’s absurd.

this was why I instantly had uncritical support for luigi. I don't know how anyone could have set foot on the grounds of a children's hospital and not felt anything against the people who steal what little time the kids have left.

I thought St. Jude paid for everything, but to your real point, I don’t disagree. Please remember though, that potus is not King and cannot have only one life mission. We the people can make this happen be by demanding it of elected officials

Facts. Not even just cancer treatments, just treatments in general. Last year, I spent the first 6 months in and out of the hospital totaling 12 surgeries and procedures here in Ireland. All in all cost me €350 out of pocket. Americas health care system is a joke.

Like I don’t know if people understand that people are homeless because someone in their family had cancer. I don’t know if people understand that costs like that can destroy entire families. That it could be any of us because cancer is so common.

Places like St. Judes should never lack for funding in this country

One of my favorite charities. They never bill a family even if they have insurance https://www.stjude.org/about-st-jude/why-support-st-jude/no-bills.html

If my son didn't qualify for medicaid when he had cancer, I'm not sure if we would have survived financially.

It's a rigged game

St. Jude's claims in their ubiquitous fund-raising ads that no family pays a dime for treatment there. Such a fucking bald-faced lie.

St. Jude claims they don't charge for treatment. That isn't true?

I think that’s for children. My understanding is that their cancer center in Fullerton where my aunt went is for everyone & they provide help but it’s not free.

I just wish we had one president whose life mission was to serve the American people instead of corporations.
Capitalism is killing us all.
