You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies.
Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare.
It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.
