My governor - the rich fuck whose family has cheated people for years - decided not to expand Medicaid. I was so excited to think I could see a doctor after 20 years, but my hopes were swiftly dashed. I cried for a few days when I realized ACA wasn't going to help me.
My governor would rather see people like me just die and go away.
As for your last comment, I just read this: It is now considered mental illness to share what you have with others!!!!!!:

They locked this guy up for giving away money to others!
On Sunday evening, Chelsey Wright posted a photo of her father on Facebook to call attention to what she says has been unfair treatment by the hospital and police.
She said Wright was returning to P.E.I. after their family spent March Break in Halifax where he shared some extra money with needy people. She said her father had worked hard to save up the funds.
Social media was buzzing about Wrights assessment Monday, with many people calling for his release. A Facebook group was started Monday morning titled #OpFreeRichardWright, and now has over 1,200 members.
Health P.E.I said in a release they cannot comment on specific patients or their care due to privacy reasons
