We lost a close friend of the family to MS not real long ago, and the last few years of her tragically shortened life were horrific. We're talking infected bedsores and dementia in her 40s horrific, the kind of end that made dying in her 50s look like a mercy. I've been thinking about it a lot today because of Will's family's situation. If the person I love the most needed a medication to avoid that fate and was getting dicked around in getting it? My reaction would make Will's look MILD AND RESTRAINED.
We need a system that gets people their medication without having to jump through hoops of fire, get a PhD in insurance company bullshit, or go on their knees to the pharmaceutical company.
