Medicaid Cuts Hit Us Hardest My Daughter Lost Her Speech Therapist—And We Don't Even Use It
My mother postponed her colonoscopy to avoid a hospital during covid lockdowns. By the time she was diagnosed with colon cancer, she only had a chance to do one treatment, had a severe reaction, and decided it wasn't worth the suffering. It was in her lungs by then anyway. Surgery was ruled out for the size and number of growths.
Had we done better as a society to keep covid from spreading, my mother would likely have caught the cancer sooner and had a chance to fight it.
Our lack of healthcare in the country is appalling. When will we demand better?
About a year ago I made a comment jokingly asking if Americans were okay
Now I don't think I need to ask
We can kiss rural healthcare goodbye. Medicare and Medicade prop up our existing healthcare industry. Rip those programs out and the only major hospitals in rich areas will survive. And those hospitals will be so inundated by everyone with no other option that they will have to triage poeple.
Republican death panels you say?
I'm an atheist, but thank god, I was born in Europe...
This title really makes no sense.
I appreciate the issue of being called out, though.
It does if you read the post in the image.
if you still don't get it
The "it" in the "don't even use it", refers to medicaid. As in, they don't use medicaid, but the speech therapist went out of business because of medicaid.
I don't think you understand the statement "The title makes no sense."
