Your periodic reminder that being chronically ill with something like #cancer and/or being #disabled is a full-time job in addition to your full-time job.
I have been working since 6:30 but have had to spend a couple hours trying to navigate the health insurance bureaucracy.

Last week when I refilled my Rx for one of my lung meds, I was informed the price had been raised to $2,700+ So I have spent hours since attempting to find out how I can get this paid for. HOURS. Kafkaesque hours. And my meds run out tomorrow. It is madness.

The last person I spoke with actually said to me "people think their medication will be paid for magically" and then "I understand how you feel."
And you cannot scream and curse at these folks because they didn't make the rules but...who can afford these meds?

So when Nate Silver says we should give Trump one good day & Joe Quisling Scarborough whinges about the incivility of the masses, eff that noise. Folks like me are being crushed by Trump & his ACA skinny repeal-hiding GOP Tax Scam. And some will indeed die, as Bernie says.
