Just got off the phone with my college roommate.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.

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

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.

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.

@AVGirl4Life Did you remember to pay the life insurance premium?

@FarRight49 @PopCulture2000s I see a creepy guy with pigtails and a hole in his chest wall. 😂

@DrRTKendall You are such a blessing. What an inspiring truth.

@Culture_Crit My absolute favorite ✨

@MizShannonS Completely unacceptable & selfish. The fact that you’re having to balance your need to cry with protecting your toddler speaks of his EPIC fail. It’s ironic, because divorcing him would mean he’d have the children Christmas Day after Christmas Eve & morning. He can chew on that.

@BethMooreLPM Well all I have to say is having you two talented Texans representing so well makes us all so proud. ❤️

[Shannon Sapp Layton, DNP, RN, CNL, NEA-BC, LISCW @ShanMarie_DNP]

@BethMooreLPM You are the only person I still “actually follow” on here. Your posts were spot on. It is so sad that some people thrive on hate and some seem oblivious to it. I’ve been supporting your journey the past couple of years and will continue on Threads if it’s your better choice.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice @Academic_Tasks 🦴
I am a therapist as well and I’m totally confused as to what this could even symbolize.
