While Republicans didn’t cause, per se, the diseases, they are doing NOTHING to treat it.
A hospital is required to treat you if you don’t have money, but if you have a long term disability, or cancer and your insurance company dumps you, you are screwed.

Open Question: I was wondering if anyone else constantly feels panic or anxiety….?
For the past two or three weeks I have this feeling i am going to die, i am 34, i smoke about a half a pack a day or less(trying to quit), drink about 4-6 beers (just to keep my panic attacks at bay), I just got fired from my job last Friday, usually I do well under stress, but when I go to sleep my heart palpitates and I wake up feeling like I cant breathe. I have no insurance now. should I go to an ER? I never had any major medical problems and I eat healthy, oh I do have a murmur. Just want some feedback
