I never forgot! Didn't have insurance that would make Healthcare cheap enough for me for 15 years. Just paid the fine for not having access.

Got looked at with the help of workers comp when I tore muscles in my lower back doing tree work. The physician said there was no weakness, no "foot drop". I'm not a small person - i tried to convey that some of my lower body was at 60%.

Made me feel like a drug seeker. He prescribed oxycontin and sent me on my way. Gave half to a buddy that I didn't think would get addicted as easily as I would.

That was when I started to realize that all of the education and training didn't necessarily make all doctors smarter. There are certainly good doctors as well.

I'm thankful for the internet and whatever amount of critical thinking I've gained over the years.

I don't think anyone forgot. Especially those of us living in its tyrannical clutches. The only thing this did is show that there are breaking points and one company stepped over that line.

I just wish it didn't take a rich person getting blown away to get people talking about the problems in this country.

If you want real change we need to force billionaires to play a role in that change. If you don’t force them and give them the option to say no without consequences then the answer will always be no.

Start showing billionaires that there are consequences to their actions.
