His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:

He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.

The @UNODC#WorldDrugReport warns that a shift away from plant-based opiates could transform the 🌐opioid market, w/ potentially greater health risks.
