My sympathy will depend on who she voted for. Elon said empathy is a sin and the weakness of Western civ.

Most Americans assume they will never get sick. In addition to jacking insurance, Republicans killed all new cancer research so there is no hope for the future.
That's how I would do it if I wanted to cull the seniors of a nation. Cheaper than building gas chambers.

I saw this woman speaking on Youtube about her predicament. How long will it be before ACA recipients arrange to have their mortal remains delivered to the US Capitol?

Republicans would just use the ashes as kitty litter.

No, she is going to go bankrupt… hopefully.
Cancer is the most common reason for medical bankruptcies in the US by a long shot.

Get the treatment and then don't pay when the bill arrives? Fuck em.
