Reminded of last summer when Spouse almost died, and they had to put him on an air ambulance to take him interstate for emergency surgery. I had no idea how we would pay. Nobody should have to worry about costs when facing death. The VA covered it, eventually. It cost more than our house is worth.

it is hard to express to someone who was not raised this way that our first thought on getting sick is not "will this treatment cure me?" but "can I get this treatment without going bankrupt???" and it is pretty fucking twisted that we are so numb to how horrifying that is
