 I was already contemptuous as hell of the entire medical insurance system in the United States but being in my 50s has radicalized me to the point where I want the heads of insurance company executives on pikes. 
 @03a95182 @59ee28ed Cory Doctorow has a powerful short story on this topic in his short story collection “Radicalized.” 
 @03a95182 amen, brother 
 @03a95182 insurance is a racket.  In my 50s as well and it's a shame that I have to forego seeing a doctor based on money.  I have to think about it say "I will wait it out and see if it gets worse".  Not the best model!

It really is a shame that it seems they want us to be unhealthy and dumb.  So make healthcare and education almost impossible to obtain.
