Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die.

seeing people (americans) be kind of blown away by the fact that the martial law solders in korea were armed and yet, as far as we know, not a single person was shot and it's really making me realize how conditioned we are to accept fatal violence against our own citizens as a foregone conclusion.
