When you have to keep a roof over your head, mouths to feed, AND require exorbitantly priced life-saving medication in order to function….this is how people are forced into making life or death choices.

So #DisneyCruise people, please don’t crucify me for not knowing this as I am, but a novice in the ways of #Disney cruises, what is this thing about people handing out toy rubber duckies? Is there a significance, a tradition, or just something people do? My kids have collected quite the hoard.

I'm very conflicted about the situation with the #UnitedHealthcare CEO. I thoroughly agree that this man and others like him are terrible, terrible individuals who profit off the deaths of thousands. I DO NOT condone what was done, but I CAN say that I understand the sentiment wholeheartedly.

“Instead of centering the stories of those harmed by UnitedHealth and the very real outrage that most Americans feel about the way the healthcare system is run today, the media is publishing a tidal wave of breathless articles about the loss of "civility" and "respect" online.”
I wrote about the coverage of the online reaction to the UnitedHealth CEO's death and how the media will always center those in power.

If you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.
Why "we" want insurance executives dead
No, that does not mean people should murder them. But if you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.

I’ve really been on a genealogy kick recently. Ever since my mom passed, I have gotten this extreme urge to know about my family history, especially knowing the wealth of knowledge that she took with her. I wish I had just one more day with her.
