I’d argue patients are paying for everything. The more we allow and use private, for-profit corporations for health care, the more expensive it becomes. Ban all private health care providers and use the money we’re not spending on it to improve our system.

I woke up this morning, did my usual meditation that has a big gratitude component, and it hit me. All the tears of joy and gratitude because FINALLY I am feeling like a functional human again. It’s been almost a year of hard work to change my health and it’s finally paying off. Andee 2.0 is here.

- Me

K bye! 🙌🏻
