Y& #39;all...as someone whose mouth was seriously unhealthy due to no insurance (= no preventative care) I can speak first hand how expensive it is, even with insurance, to get things back on track. https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1389651288112066560">https://twitter.com/DanPriceS...
I spent almost 10 years with no consistent insurance coverage. I now understand why people slowly die from lack of health care. I now understand why fat people are malnourished in the richest country in the world.

And here& #39;s what I don& #39;t get. I know folks who are amazing, generous good hearted people. But they donate time & money to causes overseas.
WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH NEED RIGHT IN THEIR BACKYARD!
It& #39;s just mind boggling.
But I& #39;m not in the habit of telling people where to direct their charitable giving.
If I was, I have more than a few suggestions.
