      It’s quite possible he had no choice since his health insurance was likely tied to his employment. If his wife was also on that insurance, it could be too big of a risk to drop it.

        Btw, this is part of the reason the ruling class fights against single payer. Health insurance is just another shackle around the working class’ neck.

          They also take 2-3 months to kick in, and that would also mean potentially resetting a deductible that has already been met, and it’s very hard to tell if everything they need will be covered. I’m sure their decisions were not made lightly.

            He’s likely looking for a better job as we type. But he’s got to plan ahead for the jump.

          Easy to be brave with your own life but would you kill your wife on this hill? Or your child?
