I do think from time to time that I’d like to move to America later in my life (I’m currently a student nurse), but then I think of all the people I’ll be caring for who are in such dire situations and knowing that I can’t do anything because of their insurance. Or knowing how much everything I’m doing is going to

I can imagine it being pretty difficult, if not impossible, to get insurance with a chronic condition such as Cerebral Palsy. Depending on the severity, it can be life limiting and like you said it can require a lot of medical intervention, especially in the first years of diagnosis. I just don’t think this Soldier

You are clearly not getting this. Filing for bankruptcy is not an option for everyone and it’s not a decision to take lightly. And I can blame the US healthcare system because I can see how ridiculous it is; I see how people benefit enormously from a free healthcare system, getting treatment that would costs thousands

Have you ever had any financial struggles? Because I have. In fact, I’ve had some pretty hard times financially. When people can’t afford things, they become stressed and anxious. Have you ever worried about an unpaid bill? Have you ever had zero money in your bank account after paying bills and worried about how in

That the mother couldn’t afford to pay for. It’s hard to put yourself into her situation and it’s awful that she killed her son, but desperation is horrendous and until any of us have actually been in her situation we can’t judge her actions. She was a human being and there is only so much that a person can take

I just can’t comprehend how America isn’t getting with the programme. Sure, certain medications (like paracetamol and ibuprofen) should be bought over the counter as people do get these prescribed when they’re about 16pence a packet, but not necessary medical care.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that

As much as people in the UK complain about the NHS, we are so incredibly lucky that we don’t have to pay for healthcare.
This is absolutely horrendous and just goes to show that paying for healthcare is not sustainable - especially when a child has a condition that can require intensive healthcare interventions.

If the latter is true, then all the “research” I’ve done today has landed me in biiiig trouble.

Maybe that’s how his wife is now pregnant with baby number two.

Wife: Don’t you dare look at me Tom!

Tom: Whaddya say?

Wife: God damn it Tom! And now I’m pregnant again.

Google ‘Tom Hardy dogs’. But please don’t die!

She looks like she would taste like blueberry bubblegum.

Tom Hardy with dogs is the reason why I will never be able to have kids. Buh-bye, ovaries!

I haven’t got a driving license at age 26 (I’m very poor) as I can’t afford all the kerfuffle that goes along with having a car.
I desperately want a scooter, so I am incredibly envious of you right now.

The UK is messed up. Our notion of free speech is so absurd; we have groups like Britain First and the BNP who are straight-up racist, homophobic and abhorrent human beings, who continue to spout hate speech on a daily basis, having targeted rallies against POC that actively incite hatred towards certain groups of

Check it out (if you can), just to see how devastatingly awful it is. There used to be a woman called Carol McGiffin on there; she’s a heinous human being. Her POV is unbelievable and she makes me rage SO HARD.

There’s a show on British TV that’s on in the afternoon called Loose Women; it is probably worse than The View. Knowing of its existence makes me shudder.

I had the exact same reaction whilst reading this! Except I learnt when I was around 10/11 (hey, I was curious - and damn it felt good); how can women not enjoy something that is free and results in an orgasm?!
