as a physician, I am aware of that, but some patients have a medication deductible near $200 (I do, being self-employed) A patient with chronic mental illness is probably going to be on public assistance so they won't be paying that much if they have it.

Some of these people, the doctors and the management, need to be placed in the care of the facilities they have been defrauding. At some point it has to rise to criminal negligence. That point is apparently just to the left of and slightly behind the Horologium Supercluster, but I can hope.

That's what Conservatives are talking about when they talk about wanting things to go back to the way they were in the 50s. Yeah, when marginalized people were invisible if you didn't have to see them in your daily life.
