Soccorro: Is that the US healthcare system, which everyone hates so much?
Yep.
To top off my problems, I just got taken off my parents' insurance a month ago, don't have the money to afford my own insurance (luckily I am exempt from the mandate,) and have a long-term disability that prevents me from working.
I'm trying to apply for Medicaid, but getting accepted is a real bitch (they usually deny your first attempt - just to make sure you are serious,) and Medicaid's coverage is pathetic at best, especially in my state that refuses to accept the expansion.
Actually, that is not topping it off. That is just the tip of the iceberg...
Speaking of icebergs, I need to figure out how to move closer to the arctic. Those Nordic countries seem to know how to treat their sick citizens.
