I have cancer. I’m open about it. This medicaid funding shit could literally kill me.

I am so sick of people suggesting I should “pull a Luigi” or “go out like a hero” because they still have things to lose so they don’t want to stand up and lose them. So because I’m gonna die, I should say fuck it and risk it all for a bunch of jerks who wouldn’t and haven’t done the same for me?

Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is to people who are already suffering? When nobody is standing up to sacrifice themselves to save the weak, broken, sick, and disabled? Why’s it our job to save the able bodied? Why can’t these people see that even though they think their heart is in the right place, they’re still basically telling us “your life sucks anyway and will end soon, you should throw it away for the rest of us who never did anything for you” or more simply “kys.”

I’m officially tired of this inconsiderate and frankly ableist bullshit.

Honestly, I wish some mods or admins would make some rules about it since it’s ableist.

    Yeah, imagine whining about your access to healthcare being taken away. Imagine whining about people telling you to murder CEOs to get your healthcare back.

    Clearly you’ve faced similar tribulations, otherwise you would look like an insensitive pathetic little troll writing cringey edgelord comments to strangers online to feel better about your own lack of accomplishments.

    Oh, and how’s your relationship with your father? Because you definitely learned this behavior from someone, and I have a guess as to where.

      Yeah, imagine whining about your access to healthcare being taken away.

      About 30% of the people who have requested healthcare with UHC “insurance” fall in that category, and only a fraction have been provided any viable means of attaining care.

      In their desperation, some have asked OP for the only “remedy” they can think of. OP could simply decline their request, but instead whines about the ask.

      Your “insensitivity” comments are better directed at OP than either me or the people OP is disparaging.
