Pain and Exhaustion

Really struggling the past few days with pain, exhaustion, nightmares and more. Also today, the US House in Congress passed Trump Care. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a potential law that takes away health coverage from 24-26 million people. If you have a "pre-existing condition", your coverage will be cancelled.  Keep in mind that the US is the ONLY country in the world with no universal health care.

What conditions does this cover?

No other country in the world has a system this bad. The NHS in the UK is underfunded. But that system has been in place for a long time, and is accepted. The same thing in Canada and Australia. If these countries did away with their universal care, millions of people would burn down the Prime Minister's residence.

Another appointment tomorrow. Protect yourself.
