Health insurance only works on a scale of mass solidarity. If insurance is segmented in a competitive market then companies will seek to cut costs, for example, they won’t want to insure people with preexisting conditions or only up to a certain amount. A lot like veterinary insurance for people.

These profits don’t go back into the system but to anonymous shareholders, who buy shares on international financial markets, and billionaires keep their wealth in tax havens like the Cayman islands, etc.

It’s not difficult to imagine a motivation. The trauma of grief from losing a loved one who was denied care, or a family pouring their hard earned financial security into paying overwhelming medical costs, these collective experiences are the real solidarity in this system.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
