2. Who can afford $400/mo for medicine?

If I had that kind of burden, I'd probably lose my home, or stop eating in order to afford that.

I swear, I feel a primal scream happening inside me. After all the news I've read today. Especially the immigration horrors happening all over the country. What is happening to the courts, all of our institutions. I don't recognize my country any more. I feel like I'm in the wrong timeline somehow. I want to scream (but it would scare my 84 year old mom), so I hold it in. It ends up breaking out in tears running down my face.

TSF is absolutely destroying America. Not sure how much more of this I can take.
